Embedding libgodot on other platforms than Apple platforms

[jonkajibb]

I would like to know the status on implementing embedding for other platforms, specifically Linux?
In the readme it has been mentioned for some time about using external textures to pass frames from the Godot instance to a host process. Would it be possible to get a hold of the prototype mentioned there?

Has this being merged in Godot 4.6 beta 1 ?

Hi @jonkajibb,

This is the latest stable branch, which is also used in react-native-godot: https://github.com/migeran/libgodot/tree/libgodot_migeran_45

Shared context OpenGL rendering should work on Linux as well without changes, although we have not tested it recently.
On Linux, X11 Vulkan with External Texture support should also work, but it will probably need some minimal changes to also support using file descriptors in addition to Win32 handles.

However, on Linux the best solution would be to implement Wayland support, which is a more modern display server implementation, similar to the Apple and Android platforms. With the news that KDE is dropping X11 support, adding support for Wayland is probably the right move.

In our development work, we prioritize our clients' requirements. If anyone needs Wayland support for their project, don't hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,
