1. download and install msys2 x86_64 from
|
|
`http://www.msys2.org/ <http://www.msys2.org/>`__ following the setup
|
|
instructions provided
|
|
2. execute ``pacman -Fy`` and then
|
|
``pacman -Sy git make mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake``
|
|
3. run "C:\msys64\mingw64.exe"

Building the Windows installer
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Install NSIS compiler Build the host program, see above sections. Build
|
|
installer with ``makensis platform/Windows/installer.nsi`` The resulting
|
|
installer will be at ``platform/Windows/looking-glass-host-setup.exe``

Questions and Answers
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Where is the log?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The log file for the host application is located at::
|
|
|
|
%ProgramData%\Looking Glass (host)\looking-glass-host.txt
|
|
|
|
You can also find out where the file is by right clicking on the tray
|
|
icon and selecting "Log File Location".
|
|
|
|
The log file for the looking glass service is located at::
|
|
|
|
%ProgramData%\Looking Glass (host)\looking-glass-host-service.txt
|
|
|
|
This is useful for troubleshooting errors related to the host
|
|
application not starting.
|
|
|
|
High priority capture using DXGI and Secure Desktop (UAC) capture support
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
By default Windows gives priority to the foreground application for any
|
|
GPU work which causes issues with capture if the foreground application
|
|
is consuming 100% of the available GPU resources. The looking glass host
|
|
application is able to increase the kernel GPU thread to realtime
|
|
priority which fixes this, but in order to do so it must run as the
|
|
``SYSTEM`` user account. To do this, Looking Glass needs to run as a
|
|
service. This can be accomplished by either using the NSIS installer
|
|
which will do this for you, or you can use the following command to
|
|
Install the service manually:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
looking-glass-host.exe InstallService
|
|
|
|
To remove the service use the following command:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
looking-glass-host.exe UninstallService
|
|
|
|
This will also enable the host application to capture the secure desktop
|
|
which includes things like the lock screen and UAC prompts.
|
|
|
|
Why does this version require Administrator privileges?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This is intentional for several reasons.
|
|
|
|
1. NvFBC requires a system wide hook to correctly obtain the cursor
|
|
position as NVIDIA decided to not provide this as part of the cursor
|
|
updates.
|
|
2. NvFBC requires administrator level access to enable the interface in
|
|
the first place. (WIP)
|
|
3. DXGI performance can be improved if we have this. (WIP)
|
|
|
|
NvFBC (NVIDIA Frame Buffer Capture)
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Why can't I compile NvFBC support into the host?
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You must download and install the NVidia Capture SDK. Please note that
|
|
by doing so you will be agreeing to NVIDIA's SDK License agreement.
