Auto-generated D bindings for the sokol headers.
- Native
- Wasm (
-Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten-none
)
By default, the backend 3D API will be selected based on the target platform:
- macOS: Metal
- Windows: D3D11
- Linux: GL
Required
Supported platforms are: Windows, macOS, Linux (with X11)
On Linux install the following packages: libglu1-mesa-dev, mesa-common-dev, xorg-dev, libasound-dev (or generally: the dev packages required for X11, GL and ALSA development)

# build sokol shared library + all examples
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe -Dshared

Checkout sokol-tools for a sokol shader pipeline! It supports these D bindings and all shaders in the examples folder
here have been compiled using it with -f sokol_d
!
zig build shaders # (re)generate D bindings from shaders.
