Compiling and running the Vulkan demos

[strider]

I have managed to get some Vulkan code running!!

Here’s how you do it (given that you’re on Ubuntu and using NVidia)

First download the Vulkan driver here https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver and install it:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove nvidia-361 nvidia-settings nvidia-opencl-icd-361
sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo service lightdm stop
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-355.00.26.run
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-355.00.26.run
sudo service lightdm start

Next get the Vulkan SDK (no need to sign in, download links at the bottom) https://vulkan.lunarg.com/signin

Code:

chmod +x vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.0.3.1.run
./vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.0.3.1.run

Next download a lib used by the Nvidia demos here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/anttweakbar/

Code:

cd Downloads/AntTweakBar
cd src
make
cd ../include
sudo cp AntTweakBar.h /usr/include
cd ../lib
sudo mv libAntTweakBar.so* libAntTweakBar.a /usr/lib/
sudo ldconfig

Also install assmode:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libassimp-dev

Clone the code repos:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/nvpro-samples/gl_vk_chopper.git
git clone https://github.com/nvpro-samples/shared_sources.git

Build

Code:

cd gl_vk_chopper
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Then run!

Code:

cd ~/bin_x64
./gl_vk_chopper

I’m holding off for the TALOS so I can bench the FKN thing.
