Samples

Getting Started

Windows 11

• For detailed instructions see BUILD-WINDOWS.md
• Using GitBash/MinGW from the GVK root directory

time cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -B build
time cmake --build build --target install
- Note that the time command isn't necessary, but is added for conveneience

• Open the Visual Studio solution at gvk/build/gvk.sln
• Navigate to gvk/samples/gvk-getting-started-00-triangle
• Right click and select Set as Startup Project
• Run

Ubuntu 24.04

• For detailed instructions see BUILD-LINUX.md
• Using Bash from the GVK root directory

time cmake -B build
time cmake --build build --target install
./build/samples/gvk-getting-started-00-triangle
- Note that the time command isn't necessary, but is added for conveneience

External Use

• Somewhere in your CMakeLists, add the following

include(FetchContent)
# See GVK's root CMakeLists for all available options
set(gvk-build-tests OFF CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
FetchContent_Declare(
    gvk
    GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/intel/gvk.git"
    GIT_TAG <desired commit hash>
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(gvk)

• Link to GVK targets

target_link_libraries(
    someTarget
    PUBLIC
        gvk-gui
        gvk-handles
        gvk-math
        gvk-runtime
        gvk-spirv
        gvk-structures
        gvk-system
        stb
)

• Note that this list includes redundant entries, for example gvk-handles implicitly links gvk-runtime and gvk-structures so the latter two need not be explicitly listed but are for illustrative purposes
