[PATCH 0/7] Update vulkan packages and add vulkan-validationlayers |
|

Hi,
This patch series adds vulkan-validationlayers 1.2.201 and updates the
dependent vulkan packages to compatible versions from approximately the same
time period. I had added/updated these packages in a local channel about 8 or 9
months ago and have been running multiple systems with them since then. My
motivation at the time was to add vulkan-validationlayers for use with the
Vulkan tutorial at https://vulkan-tutorial.com.
It was only recently that I was able to fix an issue with the tutorial program
not finding the .so for the validation layer, by patching the layer manifest
file with the full store path of the .so. A similar phase would need to be
added to the mesa package definition for its device selection layer to work
properly. The error from the mesa layer not being found when I run the basic
tutorial program is:
!! validation layer: libVkLayer_MESA_device_select.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
The 'set-layer-path-in-manifest phase in vulkan-validationlayers resolved a
similar error about libVkLayer_khronos_validation.so.
Final note: I went to update these packages to their latest versions before
submitting the series, but they trigger warnings when running programs using
Vulkan with Mesa 21.3.8 due it not supporting Vulkan 1.3 (I forget the exact
warning).
Cheers,
Kaelyn

This looks good, thank you!
Because updating vulkan-headers leads to rebuilds of 1000+ packages I
pushed it all to a new branch update-vulkan-headers and asked
ci.guix.gnu.org to build it on x86_64:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/jobset/update-vulkan-headers
Once it’s all been built and we see that it doesn’t break any existing
packages we can merge it into the “master” branch.
