Building From Source

  1. Install requirements and add executable file(*.exe) in your System Environment Variables.

    • Python 3
    • Cmake 3.x
    • Git

  2. Get the sources of shaderc and build in cmake.

     git clone https://github.com/google/shaderc $SOURCE_DIR
 cd $SOURCE_DIR
 py ./utils/git-sync-deps
 cd $SOURCE_DIR/

 mkdir $BUILD_DIR && cd $BUILD_DIR
 cmake $SOURCE_DIR
 cmake --build . --config {Release|Debug|MinSizeRel|RelWithDebInfo}
 ctest -C {Release|Debug|MinSizeRel|RelWithDebInfo}

Only one $(Configuration) can be setup upon executing cmake --build, e.g. Release:

cmake --build . --config Release

Otherwise you would get an error:

'Debug' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

glslc.exe would be generated in following directory at the end of building.

$BUILD_DIR\glslc\Release\glslc.exe
