How could I simply compile GLSL to SPIR-V?

Question

So I need to get the SPIR-V code of some GLSL

Every resource I can find on the topic involves setting up a whole enviroment for graphics and more.

In the simplest case when I have some GLSL code and I want to get the SPIR-V code, what would be the best way?

Does this help you ? https://community.khronos.org/t/compile-glsl-to-spir-v/7060/2 — Erwan Daniel, Aug 12 '20 at 08:04

The Khronos group provide the Vulkan SDK, which is free to download. In that there is a command line tool glslc which you can call from the command line as so:

VulkanSDK/x.x.x.x/Bin/glslc shader.vert -o vert.spv

An example on how to use it also available in the vulkan tutorial. It's pretty plug and play, just download the SDK and run from a terminal.

That seems great lead, thank you. Got little bit or work to check it's worked, but then I will mark this is the answer. – Jonathan Woollett-light Aug 14 '20 at 20:38
