VulkanWindow

Simple rendering window for Vulkan applications. Its main focus is ease of use, performance and multiplatform support.

It supports following platforms / back-ends:

• native Win32 API
• native Xlib API
• native Wayland API
• SDL3
• SDL2
• GLFW3
• QT6
• QT5

Compile

Prerequisities:

• Windows: Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 (earlier versions not tested)
• Linux: gcc, cmake, vulkan development files and tools, additional libraries depending on selected back-end (Xlib, Wayland, SDL3,...). This usually translates to the following required packages on Ubuntu Linux distribution:
  • build-essential
  • cmake (or cmake-curses-gui)
  • libvulkan-dev and glslang-tools
  • libx11-dev (if native xlib support is desired)
  • libwayland-dev and wayland-protocols (if native wayland support is desired)
  • pkg-config (optional - helps cmake to find wayland-protocols path)
