Slightly off-topic: Instead of installing all packages by hand, shouldn't Linux users download the LunarG Vulkan SDK and follow these instructions: Getting Started with the Linux Tarball Vulkan SDK, just like Windows and macOS users?
@maltekliemann Wouldn't it depend on how users want to manage their SDK? Some might prefer to have the system update the SDK for them.
@Overv Of course. "Instead of installing all packages by hand, shouldn't Linux users [...]" was badly worded.
My thinking was that the SDK would be easier to handle than installing all the moving parts via the package manager. In particular, you can apply bug fixed fairly easily.
By the way, I tried using homebrew to install a Vulkan SDK on macOS - no luck! Latest MoltenVK version is 1.0.41.
When doing the validation layers tutorial, compiling and running the example produced the following error message:
and no other validation layer output. After some Googling, I discovered that installing
spirv-tools
fixes the above error message, and causes the expected validation layer messages to appear:So this should be added to the Linux development environment setup instructions.
