== Introduction
This README describes important stuff for getting the Vulkan API
specification and reference pages building properly.
This README describes how to build the Vulkan API specification,
reference pages, and\or other related targets.
It documents how to set up your build environment, build steps and
targets, and contains some troubleshooting advice.

There are several helper scripts which clean these files and then build one
or more specified targets for specified extensions:
* `makeExt` - generate outputs with one or more extensions enabled.
* `makeExt` -- generate outputs with one or more extensions enabled.

==== Ubuntu / Windows 10
When using the "`Ubuntu Subsystem`" for Windows 10, most dependencies can be
installed via apt-get:
At the time of writing Ubuntu Subsystem is provided in 18.04 LTS and
16.04 LTS versions.
These versions are perfectly suitable for building this repo.
You can install Ubuntu Subsystem as described in the official documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
The distro image is not kept up-to-date, so it is recommended to run:
----
sudo apt-get -qq -y install build-essential python3 git cmake bison flex \
libffi-dev libxml2-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libcairo2-dev \
libpango1.0-dev ttf-lyx gtk-doc-tools ghostscript
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
----
The default ruby packages on Ubuntu are fairly out of date.
Ubuntu only provides `ruby` and `ruby2.0` - the latter is multiple revisions
behind the current stable branch, and would require wrangling to get the
makefile working with it.
Luckily, there are better options; either https://rvm.io[rvm] or
https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv[rbenv] is recommended to install a more
recent version.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
* If you are new to Ruby, you should *completely remove* (through the
package manager, e.g. `sudo apt-get remove *packagename*`) all existing
Ruby and asciidoctor infrastructure on your machine before trying to use
rvm or rbenv for the first time.
`dpkg -l | egrep 'asciidoctor|ruby|rbenv|rvm'` will give you a list of
candidate package names to remove.
** If you already have a favorite Ruby package manager, ignore this
advice, and just install the required OS packages and gems.
* In addition, `rvm` and `rbenv` are *mutually incompatible*.
They both rely on inserting shims and `$PATH` modifications in your bash
shell.
If you already have one of these installed and are familiar with it,
it's probably best to stay with that one.
One of the editors, who is new to Ruby, found `rbenv` far more
comprehensible than `rvm`.
The other editor likes `rvm` better.
** Neither `rvm` nor `rbenv` work, out of the box, when invoked from
non-Bash shells like tcsh.
This can be hacked up by setting the right environment variables and
PATH additions based on a bash environment.
* Most of the tools on Bash for Windows are quite happy with Windows line
endings (CR LF), but bash scripts expect Unix line endings (LF).
The file `.gitattributes` at the top of the vulkan tree in the 1.0
branch forces such scripts to be checked out with the proper line
endings on non-Linux platforms.
If you add new scripts whose names don't end in `.sh`, they should be
included in .gitattributes as well.

==== Ruby Gem Versioning Errors
Depending on Ruby environment `gem` may require `sudo`.
It may significantly speed up installation if you skip documentation build
by passing `--no-rdoc --no-ri` arguments.
It may be beneficial to use updated packages via:
----
gem update
gem clean

[[troubleshooting]]
== Troubleshooting
This section goes over known problems and solutions for toolchain
installation or for build.
If you get arbitrary build errors it can't hurt to first try resolve it by
cleaning the tree:
----
make clean
git clean -dxf
----
=== STEM SVG Errors
If you happen to have `_` or other Asciidoctor formating characters in your
path, then PDF build using `asciidoctor-mathematical` may fail with:
----
asciidoctor: WARNING: image to embed not found or not readable: whatever/<em>stuff/Vulkan-Docs/out/equations_temp/stem-d3355033150173c1d397e342237db405.svg
----
See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-mathematical/issues/43.
You simply need to have the repository cloned in a simpler path.
=== Ghostscript Errors
Ghostscript optimization of the PDF may produce:
----
**** Error reading a content stream. The page may be incomplete.
Output may be incorrect.
**** Error: File did not complete the page properly and may be damaged.
Output may be incorrect.
----
Usually, it is just a problem with the Asciidoc sources (e.g. silent failure
to render content that does not fit in the page; such as SVG equations where
there is no line break opportunity).
=== Ruby Gem Versioning Errors
Sometimes, when updating ruby gem packages incompatibilities arise.
It is resoleved by identifying the offending packages and downgrading them:
----
$ gem uninstall package_name
$ gem install package_name --version good_version_number
----
If you already have the gem dependencies previously installed, if there are
new versions, then updating to them instead might help:
----
$ gem update
----
*ruby-enum*
Make sure you are using ruby-enum 0.7.1 or later, and mathematical 1.6.8 or
later. If you are forced to use earlier versions, see
We have seen this PDF build error:
----
Failed to load AsciiDoc document - wrong constant name default (NameError)
----
It should not be occuring with updated packages.
Make sure you are using `ruby-enum 0.7.1` or later, and `mathematical 1.6.8`
or later.
If you are forced to use earlier versions, see
https://github.com/gjtorikian/mathematical/issues/69 for a report of a
related versioning problem.
*prawn*
Make sure you are using prawn 2.2.1 or later, and prawn-templates 0.0.5 or
later. Incompatibilities between asciidoctor-pdf and earlier versions of
later. Incompatibilities between `asciidoctor-pdf` and earlier versions of
these gems affects the PDF build. See
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/issues/476
=== asciidoctor-mathematical gem native extension errors
Installing `mathematical` gem builds `lasem` and `mtex2MML` native binaries.
The <<depends,Dependencies>> we list should be sufficient for the install to
build those native extensions successfully.
If you encounter problems, it is possible to use those binaries from
preinstalled locations.
See https://github.com/gjtorikian/mathematical#troubleshooting.
=== Asciidoctor include errors
If you get errors like:
----
asciidoctor: ERROR: chapters/???.txt: line 189: include file not found: ???/Vulkan-Docs/api/protos/???.txt
----
you probably forgot to call `make clean_generated` as stated in the
<<building-extensions>> chapter.
[[ruby-env]]
== Alternative Ruby environments
The default `ruby` packages on Linux distro may be out of date.
Through the default `ruby` package, Ubuntu 18.04 provides ruby 2.5, and
Ubuntu 16.10 provides ruby 2.3.
Those system packages seem to be sufficient to build this repo.
But there are better options; either https://rvm.io[rvm] or
https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv[rbenv] is recommended to install an updated
version of Ruby environment.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
* If you are new to Ruby, you should *completely remove* (through the
package manager, e.g. `sudo apt purge *packagename*`) all existing
Ruby and asciidoctor infrastructure on your machine before trying to use
rvm or rbenv for the first time.
`dpkg -l | egrep 'asciidoctor|ruby|rbenv|rvm'` will give you a list of
candidate package names to remove.
** If you already have a favorite Ruby package manager, ignore this
advice, and just install the required OS packages and gems.
* In addition, `rvm` and `rbenv` are *mutually incompatible*.
They both rely on inserting shims and `$PATH` modifications in your bash
shell.
If you already have one of these installed and are familiar with it,
it's probably best to stay with that one.
One of the editors, who is new to Ruby, found `rbenv` far more
comprehensible than `rvm`.
The other editor likes `rvm` better.
** Neither `rvm` nor `rbenv` work, out of the box, when invoked from
non-Bash shells like `tcsh`.
This can be hacked up by setting the right environment variables and
`PATH` additions based on a bash environment.
* Most of the tools on Bash for Windows are quite happy with Windows line
endings (`CR LF`), but bash scripts expect Unix line endings (`LF`).
The file `.gitattributes` at the top of the vulkan tree forces such
scripts to be checked out with the proper line endings on non-Linux
platforms.
If you add new scripts whose names don't end in `.sh`, they should be
included in `.gitattributes` as well.

[[depends-ubuntu-rbenv]]
===== Ubuntu/Windows 10 Using Rbenv
Rbenv is a lighter-weight Ruby environment manager with less functionality
than rvm.
Its primary task is to manage different Ruby versions, while rvm has
additional functionality such as managing "`gemsets`" that is irrelevant to
our needs.
A complete installation script for the toolchain on Ubuntu for Windows,
developed on an essentially out-of-the-box environment, follows.
If you try this, don't try to execute the entire thing at once.
Do each step separately in case of errors we didn't encounter.
