Building

Note

This project requires some dependencies that are included as Git submodules. Follow the build instructions below to set up all required libraries and properly build an example.

Prerequisites

• Git
• Python - version 3.x is required
• C++ compiler - MSVC on Windows or g++ on Unix

Windows

1. Open a Command Prompt and navigate to the project directory

2. Rn the prepare.bat script to build the required libraries:

   prepare.bat

3. To run an example, use the build script:

   build.bat src\01_initializing_vulkan run

Unix Systems (Linux/macOS)

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory

2. Make the scripts executable (if needed):

   chmod +x ./prepare.sh ./build.sh

3. Rn the prepare.sh script to build the required libraries:

   ./prepare.sh

4. To run an example, use the build script:

   ./build.sh src/01_initializing_vulkan run

Dependencies

• odin-imgui
• odin-vk-bootstrap
• odin-vma
