DXVK
DXVK is a Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 9/10/11 which allows running 3D applications on Linux using Wine.
Requirements
- Wine 3.10 or newer (5.8 or newer recommended)
- Vulkan
- Vulkan capable GPU
- Driver supported by DXVK (With AMD, you can check which driver is used by running lspci -k. If it says that the driver in use is radeon, your system will not be able to use DXVK.)
Building from source
- dev-util/meson (at least version 0.46)
- dev-util/glslang
- Mingw (at least version 6.0)
Installation
From source
Older versions could be compiled with winegcc, a gcc wrapper from wine. However, upstream discourages the use of winegcc and recommends Mingw. Support for winegcc was completely dropped after version 1.6.1.
app-emulation/dxvk is available from the unofficial repositories “FireBurn” (mingw & winegcc), “ppfeufer-gentoo-overlay” (mingw & winegcc), “tastytea” (mingw) and “thegreatmcpain” (mingw & winegcc).[1] See the wiki article about ebuild repositories for how to use them.
Install Mingw for 64 and 32 bit
It is recommended to create an ebuild repository by following this section in the Crossdev article.
Make sure that mingw64-runtime does not have the
tools useflag enabled when bootstrapping. See bug #644556.user $for toolchain in cross-x86_64-w64-mingw32 cross-i686-w64-mingw32; do
crossdev --stable --libc "~8.0.0" --target ${toolchain}
crossdev --stable --libc "~8.0.0" --lenv 'USE="libraries"' \
--genv 'EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-threads=posix"' \
--init-target --target ${toolchain}
sed "s|-libraries ||" -i /etc/portage/package.use/${toolchain}
emerge --oneshot ${toolchain}/mingw64-runtime
emerge --oneshot ${toolchain}/gcc
doneAdd --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf2 to EXTRA_ECONF for cross-i686-w64-mingw32/gcc (but not for cross-x86_64-w64-mingw32/gcc) for improved performance.[2][3]
If crossdev generation of the target toolchain should fail, ensure that USE="libraries" is enabled on ${toolchain}/mingw64-runtime by simply prefixing the relevant emerge command with env USE="libraries", mirroring the application of the USE flag to libc via crossdev's lenv argument.
Revert edits to /etc/portage/env/mingw-gcc.conf, /etc/portage/package.env/mingw, and /etc/portage/package.use/mingw before retrying, or toolchain generation will fail due to the --enable-threads flag.
Install DXVK
To include 32-bit bindings:
root #echo 'app-emulation/dxvk ABI_X86: 64 32' >> /etc/portage/package.use/dxvk
root #echo 'app-emulation/dxvk' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/dxvk
root #emerge --ask app-emulation/dxvkPre-built release
Pre-built DXVK binaries are available from the GURU repository.
root #echo 'app-emulation/dxvk-bin' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/dxvkroot #emerge --ask app-emulation/dxvk-binConfiguration
Lutris
Move/copy all .dll files to a subdirectory of ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk.
app-emulation/dxvk:
user $mkdir -p ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/foo/x{32,64}
user $cp /usr/lib/dxvk/*.dll ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/foo/x32
user $cp /usr/lib64/dxvk/*.dll ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/foo/x64
app-emulation/dxvk-bin:
user $mkdir -p ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/foo/x{32,64}
user $cp /usr/lib/dxvk-bin/*.dll ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/foo/x32
user $cp /usr/lib64/dxvk-bin/*.dll ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/foo/x64
To use the newly installed DXVK, configure the Wine runner in the Lutris GUI, show advanced options, and enter the subdirectory name (foo in this case) into the DXVK version.
Wine
It is recommended to create the ~/.wine-32 or ~/.wine-64 directories for different architectures.
app-emulation/dxvk:
user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-64 setup_dxvk.sh install --symlink
user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-32 setup_dxvk.sh install --symlink
app-emulation/dxvk-bin:
user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-64 setup_dxvk-bin.sh install --symlink
user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-32 setup_dxvk-bin.sh install --symlink
