Cloned Urho3D on Linux. Took the Source/Samples/UrhoSampleProject and copied it out of tree. Did “cmake .”. Did, “make”. Provides two warnings of redefined defines for URHO3D_OPENGL and URHO3D_SSE. I ignored those even though they are annoying on every make. Run the resulting binary in bin. It works. It complains about missing PostProcess files. The sample’s Data/Postprocess directory is incorrectly named. I fix case so that it’s Data/PostProcess, as is expected in code. It compiles. It runs, but screen is now entirely black. Narrow down black screen to PostProcess/AutoExposure.xml. Remove line, “effectRenderPath->Append(cache->GetResource(“PostProcess/AutoExposure.xml”));”, and things render properly.
Found old bug stating that AutoExposure doesn’t work properly on OpenGL. Also found code in the OpenGL renderer, which according to comments, fixes this issue. Only other comments seem to imply I should see a white screen, not a black screen. Regardless, appears AutoExposure is still broken on OpenGL.
TL/DR: The sample incorrectly has a directory named, “Postprocess”. It should be, “PostProcess”. Also, AutoExposure.xml seems to be buggy on OpenGL/Linux.

How does one begin debugging the AutoExposure.xml bug?
