This repository contains the source code necessary to build the following components:
- vulkaninfo
-- cube and cubepp demos
+- vkcube and vkcubepp demos
- mock ICD
### Installed Files
The `install` target installs the following files under the directory
indicated by *install_dir*:
-- *install_dir*`/bin` : The vulkaninfo, cube and cubepp executables
+- *install_dir*`/bin` : The vulkaninfo, vkcube and vkcubepp executables
- *install_dir*`/lib` : The mock ICD library and JSON (Windows) (If INSTALL_ICD=ON)
- *install_dir*`/share/vulkan/icd.d` : mock ICD JSON (Linux/MacOS) (If INSTALL_ICD=ON)
#### glslang
This repository has a required dependency on the `glslangValidator` (shader
-compiler) for compiling the shader programs for the cube demos.
+compiler) for compiling the shader programs for the vkcube demos.
The CMake code in this repository downloads release binaries of glslang if a
build glslang repository is not provided. The glslangValidator is obtained
If you don't wish the CMake code to download these binaries, then you must
clone the [glslang repository](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang) and
build its `install` target. Follow the build instructions in the glslang
-[README.md](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang/blob/master/README.md)
+[README.md](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang/blob/main/README.md)
file. Ensure that the `update_glslang_sources.py` script has been run as part
of building glslang. You must also take note of the glslang install directory
and pass it on the CMake command line for building this repository, as
described below.
-Note that this dependency can be ignored if not building the cube demo
+Note that this dependency can be ignored if not building the vkcube demo

### Build and Install Directories
### Building Dependent Repositories with Known-Good Revisions
-There is a Python utility script, `scripts/update_deps.py`, that you can use
-to gather and build the dependent repositories mentioned above. This program
-also uses information stored in the `scripts/known-good.json` file to checkout
-dependent repository revisions that are known to be compatible with the
-revision of this repository that you currently have checked out.

+information stored in the `scripts/known_good.json` file to check out dependent
+repository revisions that are known to be compatible with the revision of this
+repository that you currently have checked out. As such, this script is useful
+as a quick-start tool for common use cases and default configurations.
-Here is a usage example for this repository:
+For all platforms, start with:
git clone git@github.com:KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Tools.git
cd Vulkan-Tools
mkdir build
cd build
+
+For 64-bit Linux and MacOS, continue with:
+
../scripts/update_deps.py
cmake -C helper.cmake ..
cmake --build .
+For 64-bit Windows, continue with:
+
+ ..\scripts\update_deps.py --arch x64
+ cmake -A x64 -C helper.cmake ..
+ cmake --build .
+
+For 32-bit Windows, continue with:
+
+ ..\scripts\update_deps.py --arch Win32
+ cmake -A Win32 -C helper.cmake ..
+ cmake --build .
+
+Please see the more detailed build information later in this file if you have
+specific requirements for configuring and building these components.
+
#### Notes
- You may need to adjust some of the CMake options based on your platform. See
- Please use `update_deps.py --help` to list additional options and read the
internal documentation in `update_deps.py` for further information.
+### Generated source code
+
+This repository contains generated source code in the `icd/generated`
+directory which is not intended to be modified directly. Instead, changes should be
+made to the corresponding generator in the `scripts` directory. The source files can
+then be regenerated using `scripts/generate_source.py`:
+
+ python3 scripts/generate_source.py PATH_TO_VULKAN_HEADERS_REGISTRY_DIR
+
+A helper CMake target `VulkanTools_generated_source` is also provided to simplify
+the invocation of `scripts/generate_source.py` from the build directory:
+
+ cmake --build . --target VulkanTools_generated_source

+### CCACHE
+
+There are 2 methods to enable CCACHE:
+
+1.) Set environment variables
+
+```bash
+# Requires CMake 3.17 (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/envvar/CMAKE_LANG_COMPILER_LAUNCHER.html)
+export CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=/usr/bin/ccache
+export CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=/usr/bin/ccache
+```
+
+2.) Pass in cache variables
+
+```
+cmake ... -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=/usr/bin/ccache -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=/usr/bin/ccache
+```
+
+### EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS
+
+There are 2 methods to enable exporting compile commands:
+
+1.) Set environment variables
+
+```bash
+# Requires CMake 3.17 (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/envvar/CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS.html)
+export CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON
+```
+
+2.) Pass in cache variables
+
+```
+cmake ... -D CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON
+```
+
+NOTE: Modern tools will generally enable exporting compile commands for you (e.g. VSCode).
+Also `CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` is implemented only by Makefile and Ninja generators. For other generators, this option is ignored.

### Android Build
-There are two options for building the Android tools. Either using the SPIRV
-tools provided as part of the Android NDK, or using upstream sources. To build
-with SPIRV tools from the NDK, remove the build-android/third_party directory
-created by running update_external_sources_android.sh, (or avoid running
-update_external_sources_android.sh). Use the following script to build
-everything in the repository for Android, including validation layers, tests,
-demos, and APK packaging: This script does retrieve and use the upstream SPRIV
-tools.

-
-### Android Tests and Demos
-
-After making any changes to the repository you should perform some quick
-sanity tests, including the layer validation tests and the cube and smoke
-demos with validation enabled.
-
-#### Run Layer Validation Tests
-
-Use the following steps to build, install, and run the layer validation tests
-for Android:
-
- cd build-android
- ./build_all.sh
- adb install -r bin/VulkanLayerValidationTests.apk
- adb shell am start com.example.VulkanLayerValidationTests/android.app.NativeActivity
+### Run vkcube
-Alternatively, you can use the test_APK script to install and run the layer
-validation tests:
+Use the following command to run vkcube for Android:
- test_APK.sh -s <serial number> -p <platform name> -f <gtest_filter>
-
-#### Run Cube with Validation
-
-TODO: This must be reworked to pull in layers from the ValidationLayers repo
-
-Use the following steps to build, install, and run Cube for Android:
-
- cd build-android
- ./build_all.sh
- adb install -r ../demos/android/cube/bin/cube.apk
- adb shell am start com.example.Cube/android.app.NativeActivity
-
-To build, install, and run Cube with validation layers,
-first build layers using steps above, then run:
-
- cd build-android
- ./build_all.sh
- adb install -r ../demos/android/cube-with-layers/bin/cube-with-layers.apk
-
-##### Run without validation enabled
-
- adb shell am start com.example.CubeWithLayers/android.app.NativeActivity
-
-##### Run with validation enabled
-
- adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android-intent.category.LAUNCH -n com.example.CubeWithLayers/android.app.NativeActivity --es args "--validate"
