A window client library. It gives you an API for creating windows, possibly fullscreen, a graphics context, and events associated with the windows, such as mouse and keyboard input.
It’s a proof-of-concept of a Vulkan “Hello World” triangle, whose binaries are portable across different Linux distributions, even ones that have nonstandard dynamic linkers.
“how it works” writeup is TODO.
Tested with Zig 0.7.0+479f259ea.
zig build -Dtarget=x86_64-linux
patchelf --remove-needed libdummy.so.0 zig-cache/bin/static-window
./zig-cache/bin/static-window
The -Dtarget parameter is important if you want to put the binary up for
downloading - this makes Zig target the “baseline” CPU instead of using
the fancy cool features of your native CPU.
This should work just fine on other CPU architectures though; for example you
could change x86_64 to aarch64 for 64-bit ARM.
Removing the external dependency on patchelf is TODO.
Reported to work on these systems so far:
Please file an issue if you find that vkcube from your package manager works
but binaries produced by this project do not.
