What's included in that? Do you manually compile through a shell file or have some sort of project-based compile script?
Also if you need to test performance I would really recommend running on actual hardware because VB chops off a lot of it -
@AlgoRythm I'll manually setup an eclipse project. Eventually, I'll write a CMake to handle the installation.
Not testing performance currently, just making sure I haven't accidentally used some OS-specific stuff. -
Condor328946yOut of curiosity, what's your graphics performance in VirtualBox? I've had significant compositing performance issues in it, and I'm not sure if it's due to the Intel iGPU performance hitting a ceiling (no idea how to make VBox use the Nvidia card tbh), or due to an issue in VirtualBox itself.

@Condor Not sure about VirtualBox, but in VMware it's definitely possible to use the non-integrated graphics card. I got a VMware machine at work and I don't know what exactly they tweaked to get it to perform nicely, but they enabled 3D acceleration and all that jazz on the Nvidia card.

@Condor Update: performance in VirtualBox is absolute shit *facepalm*.
The entire machine is slow as fuck, build takes forever and switching between windows is slow and laggy. I probably messed up the configuration of the VM. -
Condor328946y@NickyBones join the club then 🙃 thanks for reassuring that I'm not the only one who's experiencing this! Guess I'll go with a cracked version of VMware then.

Downloaded VirtualBox and an .iso of Ubuntu 18.04. Now I only need to setup my *entire* development environment so I can see if my engine compiles on anything other than Windows 10.
