Mesa-24.2.7 (for Vulkan drivers)
An Internet connection is needed for some tests of this package.
If this package is being installed on a system where Mesa has already been installed previously, please rebuild Mesa-24.2.7 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
To run the test suite, issue (note that the command will use git-2.47.0 to download a copy of GoogleTest for building the test suite):
cmake -D BUILD_TESTS=ON -D UPDATE_DEPS=ON .. && ninja && ninja test
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
-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.
