![[Note]](../images/note.png)
An Internet connection is needed for some tests of this package. The system certificate store may need to be set up with make-ca-1.16.1 before testing this package.
If this package is being installed on a system where Mesa has already been installed previously, please rebuild Mesa-25.1.8 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-2.50.1 to download a copy of GoogleTest for building the test suite):
sed "s/'git', 'clone'/&, '--depth=1', '-b', self.commit/" \
-i ../scripts/update_deps.py &&
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.
-D BUILD_WSI_WAYLAND_SUPPORT=OFF: This
option allows building without Wayland-1.24.0
support.
