These examples have moved to the vulkan repo

vulkan-examples

Some examples for using the vulkan bindings.

At the moment it just creates and destroys a Vulkan instance; it'll print '0' to the terminal if there were no problems.

Building

This requires GHC 8.

I've included a couple of .nix files to set up this environment. There's no Nix package for Vulkan at the moment, so you'll have to do a couple of really horrible things to get this to build. These are the steps on my Linux machine (having installed the LunarG SDK and vulkan driver)

nix-shell
cabal configure --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
cabal build
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu ./dist/build/vulkan-example/vulkan-example

The vulkan package currently takes ages and ages to build without -O0, so you might want to specify that too.

Building on Ubuntu with Stack

Note, you need modern drivers to support vulkan api, e.g. nvidia-367 that is available at ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa currently. If your drivers are ok, install libvulkan-dev and run examples using stack:

sudo apt-get install libvulkan-dev
# run this from a folder containing cloned vulkan-examples
stack setup
stack install

Contributing

It would be awesome if you could try and get this to work on your system and raise an issue (or if you're amazing a pull request) if it doesn't work for you.

I can be reached by email or as jophish on Freenode.
