Simple converter from GLSL to SPIR-V (syntax as specified by Khronos Group). Made for personal educational purposes.

Compilation is only tested on Linux. Windows might work, provided you change the "OSDependent"-section of the LIB_DIRS variable in the Makefile.

The converter builds on the two projects SPIRV-Tools and glslang. These are not included in this project and must be built separately. In addition, a Vulkan SDK is necessary at the moment (might change).

Before building, ensure all the five variables in the Makefile (GLSLANG_ROOT, GLSLANG_BIN, SPIRV_TOOLS_ROOT, SPIRV_TOOLS_BIN and VULKAN_ROOT) are set to values appropriate to your system. Some explanations are provided in the file. Then run

$ make

and you should receive a brand new binary file glsl2spirv. You may now convert any number of GLSL source files with

./glsl2spirv source1.vert source2.frag (...)

The results are shown in terminal.

Note that all shader files must have corresponding file suffixes (.vert, .frag, .comp etc.).
