Introduction to glslc

The glslc program is Google's command line compiler for OpenGL Shading Language/High Level Shading Language (GLSL/HLSL) to Standard Portable Intermediate Representation (SPIR-V).

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.3 platform.

Package Information

Glslc Dependencies

Required

CMake-3.31.5, Glslang-15.1.0, and SPIRV-Tools-1.4.304.1

Installation of glslc

First, allow building with system Glslang-15.1.0 and SPIRV-Tools-1.4.304.1: 

sed '/build-version/d'   -i glslc/CMakeLists.txt            &&
sed '/third_party/d'     -i CMakeLists.txt                  &&
sed 's|SPIRV|glslang/&|' -i libshaderc_util/src/compiler.cc &&

echo '"2024.4"' > glslc/src/build-version.inc

Now install glslc by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      -D SHADERC_SKIP_TESTS=ON     \
      -G Ninja ..
ninja

Now, as the root user: 

install -vm755 glslc/glslc /usr/bin
