Intel Vulkan Mesa on Ubuntu 15.10
# Pre requisites
- Enable DRI3 as described in https://vulkan.lunarg.com/app/docs/v1.0.3.1/getting_started_linux
- Install a library for SHA, e.g. sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11-dev (if not already present)
- Otherwise the driver may throw an error with "_mesa_sha1_compute" when loading SPIR-V shaders
# Building
- Clone Mesa Master : git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa -b Master
- cd mesa
- autoreconf -vfi
- ./configure --with-dri-drivers=i965 --with-gallium-drivers= --with-sha1= --with-vulkan-drivers=intel
- make
# Setting up the loader
- Create the directory /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d
- This is the place where the loader searches for installed ICDs
- From the mesa directory
- Copy intel_icd.json /src/intel/vulkan to /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d
- Copy libvulkan_intel.so from /lib to /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d
# Verify
- Run vulkaninfo > vulkaninfo.txt
- Check for the following line :
- INFO: [loader] Code 0 : Found manifest file /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.json, version "1.0.0"
- If this line is not followed by an "error", the icd has been located by the loader
- Run vulkaninfo | grep deviceName
- This should return the name of your device, e.g. "Intel(R) Ivybridge Mobile"
