VM with the development environment

[javitoom]

Hello!

Has anyone been able to install the development environment in a virtual machine?

Thanks in advance!

[psi29a]

Sure, we do it all the time with travis-ci and appveyor when pull-requests and merge-requests come in.

If you mean running OpenMW... I've some limited success with VirtualBox.

[javitoom]

My idea was to have all the necessary to contribute in a VM. Do you think that is possible? Maybe the performance in the VM is not enough.

If is possible, you know if anybody has shared a QCOW2 or an OVA with the environment already mounted?

[psi29a]

Not that I'm aware of, but give it a shot. Try qemu and see if the VIrGL stuff works.

[javitoom]

I will try to prepare something with Vagrant and LibVirt.

Thank you again!

I already compiled OpenMW in the VM with the aur package (openmw-git).



Is there any way to test OpenMW without Morrowind? I don't have Morrowind

[AnyOldName3]

There's the example suite, which doesn't contain very much at all right now. There are also total conversion mods for Morrowind. I know Arktwend still uses assets from the base game, so that won't work, but Emba 5 might be fine.

[Capostrophic]

Emba-5 still uses Morrowind races for its, er, characters, and it uses Bloodmoon assets.

[javitoom]

It looks like the easiest way is buying the game.
Actually, the game isn't expensive. Probably I will buy it.

Thanks anyway!
