The Vulkan-Loader package contains a library which provides the Vulkan API and provides core support for graphics drivers for Vulkan.
CMake-3.31.5, Vulkan-Headers-1.4.304, and Xorg Libraries
Mesa-24.3.4 (runtime: for Vulkan drivers) and Wayland-1.23.1
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
If this package is being installed on a system where Mesa has already been installed previously, please rebuild Mesa-24.3.4 after this package to install Vulkan graphics drivers.
Install Vulkan-Loader by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-G Ninja .. &&
ninja
This package does not come with a working test suite.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
First clean the build directory:
rm -rf *
Install lib32-Vulkan-Loader by running the following commands:
ASFLAGS+=" --32" CFLAGS+=" -m32" \
CXXFLAGS+=" -m32" \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib32/pkgconfig \
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib32 \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-G Ninja .. &&
ninja
Now, as the root user:
DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR ninja install && cp -vr DESTDIR/usr/lib32/* /usr/lib32 && rm -rf DESTDIR && ldconfig
Inspect CMakeLists.txt and other
CMake related files for a full
list of options.
-D
CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON: This switch makes
cmake remove
hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary
executable file or a shared library. This package does not need
rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may
sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.
-D BUILD_WSI_WAYLAND_SUPPORT=OFF: This
option allows building the library without Wayland.
