This action builds a subset of the Vulkan SDK from source and makes the results available to later build steps through a VULKAN_SDK environment variable.
note: currently only x64 windows and x64 linux environments are supported (if you need another configuration added let me know)
To build against the latest Vulkan SDK:
-name: Install Vulkan SDK
uses: humbletim/[email protected]vulkan-version: (Optional) valid SDK release number (eg: 1.2.161.1). Default:latest- Available release numbers can be found here: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home
-name: Install Vulkan SDK
uses: humbletim/[email protected]
with:
vulkan-version: 1.2.161.1First action.yml installs the minimum dependencies needed to compile Vulkan SDK from source. It then delegates to install_vulkan_sdk.sh, which resolves vulkan-version into a corresponding git branch using the official Vulkan SDK web services.
KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Headers and KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader repos are then cloned locally to that branch point, built, and installed into $PWD/VULKAN_SDK. And finally a VULKAN_SDK environment variable is exported for later build tools to discover the SDK's location through.
The entire process takes around a minute or so to complete and the installed artifacts consume around a dozen megabytes of storage space (as opposed to the 1GB+ required for a full Vulkan SDK prebuilt install). Note that this approach only provides enough to compile and link Vulkan applications against -- it does not provide the other utilities, documentation, or code samples that normally ship with the Full Vulkan SDK.
