Checklight Engine

Setup

• First make sure you have all development packages for vulkan installed, it can be done with those commands:

  • On Ubuntu: sudo apt install vulkan-tools libvulkan-dev vulkan-validationlayers-dev spirv-tools
  • On Fedora: sudo dnf install vulkan-tools vulkan-loader-devel mesa-vulkan-devel vulkan-validation-layers-devel
  • On Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S vulkan-devel

• You will also need the LUNARG Vulkan SDK, try running sudo apt install vulkan-sdk if that failes you will need to add the LUNARG PPA, for more info see https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#linux (see the "Ubuntu Packages" section under Linux)

Due to extremely long link times with GCC's ld it is recommend to use the mold linker:

sudo apt install mold

Running

To run Checklight Engine execute the main cmake target, like so:

# Build
mkdir build
cmake . -B build -G Ninja
cmake --build build/ --target main -j $(($(nproc --all) + 1))

# Execute
cd build && ./main
