dawn-lib

dawn-lib copied to clipboard

Builds dawn on Linux and macOS as one single easier-to-use library.

This is an experiment for playsys

The goal with this experiment is to make it less complex to build programs using dawn by allowing simplified linking with a single library. Eventually this will make it into playsys for the Linux host wgpu implementation.

Build

Requirements to build: (config.sh checks for all of these)

• Linux with X11 or macOS >=10.15
• cmake >=3.10
• bash or a bash-compatible shell like zsh
• wget or curl
• git
• ninja
• python3

Configure build: (run after every git clone/pull/checkout)

sh config.sh

Build libwgpu:

bash build.sh
# bash build.sh -clean  # rebuild from scratch

Build & run example program:

bash hello_triangle/build.sh
./hello_triangle/bin/hello_triangle    # statically linked
./hello_triangle/bin/hello_triangle-sh # dynamically linked

Linux note: To run the examples, you must be in an X11 shell
