Comment 2 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2025-03-06 20:31:36 UTC
Previous review request:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2115560#c6

This package only provides a static archive and no shared libraries on purpose (along headers).
This is because it aims to dlopen a complement shared object library at runtime that will be exposed by WSL on the Linux userspace (no need to distribute it).

Because it's a static-only-archive with headers, I've pick the solution to drop a -devel sub-package that also provides -static without any "main" package.
Packages using it (likely only mesa so far) can use a package independent method to select such dependency with pkgconfig(DirectX-Headers).

Comment 3 Jeremy Cline 2025-03-06 20:45:32 UTC
I plan to test this out in the next day or two and then I'll give it a review, thanks!

I will do some runtime tests later (on WSL W11 with Intel).

Comment 7 Neal Gompa 2025-03-07 11:09:56 UTC
Don't these already exist as part of mingw-headers? I've been consuming them for dxvk-native, and it seems to be fine.

mingw-headers does ship a set of DirectX headers it generates via the Wine IDL compiler from (I presume) the same interface definition. However, the headers from mingw-headers are older, missing a number of definitions from my totally random spot-check. These track https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx12agility/. Additionally, mingw-headers doesn't ship, for example, dxguids.h which Mesa depends on (and Mesa does explicitly depend on a recent version of this https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/blob/mesa-25.0.1/meson.build?ref_type=tags#L603).

Also, as noted in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2115560#c6 this comes along with a couple static archives which contain some GUID definitions and format properties.

Comment 9 Jeremy Cline 2025-03-12 17:30:50 UTC
Okay, I've built Mesa with D3D12 support using this package, installed it in the Fedora WSL beta image, and can use it to run glxgears using an AMD and Nvidia GPU (and I can't imagine anyone wanting to do anything else). I needed to force Mesa to select it with GALLIUM_DRIVER=d3d12, but that's a problem to solve elsewhere.

The specfile looks pretty good, just a few notes:

- It would be good to include the note you left in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2115560#c6
  regarding the debug package in the specfile where you disable it.

- While I don't foresee Windows for s390x any time soon, the package _does_ build on all architectures.
  I would say drop the ExclusiveArch. Debian, for example, is building it for mips64 which feels equally
  as likely as s390x.

- Do we need the case-insensitive provides? I couldn't find anything about it in the packaging guidelines.
  If not, I would say drop them.

Thanks for the review.


About testing with d3d12 enabled in WSL2, it's worth to use glmark2-wayland (and alikes for Xwayland and/or es2 support).
I've managed to test it on Intel Cometlake (gen9) with W11 (23/10 or something). It seems to faster than llvmpipe (not tried vaapi yet, but I don't think it's supported on my HW).

This introduces a warning because of the macro (which, in this case, probably doesn't expand into anything world-breaking, but who knows what the future holds). I'd personally drop the note entirely, but dropping or otherwise mangling the macro so that it doesn't expand is okay too.

Thanks, I plan to look at this a bit harder once the driver is built in Mesa.

Other than the one rpmlint issue this looks good to me, thanks!

Fixed locally by dropping the comment.
