PKGBUILD needs to be changed from make to meson/ninja as there is no autogen.sh anymore.

Example:

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/anvil"
  meson setup builddir
  ninja -C builddir

  # fake installation
  mkdir -p "$srcdir"/fakeinstall
  DESTDIR="${srcdir}" ninja -C builddir install
}

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/anvil"

  install -m755 -d "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/vulkan
  #mv -v "${srcdir}"/fakeinstall/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/vulkan/

  install -m755 -d "${pkgdir}"/usr/{include/vulkan,lib}
  #mv -v "${srcdir}"/fakeinstall/usr/lib/libvulkan_intel.so "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/
  #mv -v "${srcdir}"/fakeinstall/usr/include/vulkan/vulkan_intel.h "${pkgdir}"/usr/include/vulkan

  install -m755 -d "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/licenses/"${pkgname}"
  install -m644 "${srcdir}/LICENSE" "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/licenses/"${pkgname}"/
}

You still need to fix PKGBUILD if the package should get installed properly.

Line --with-vulkan-icddir="$srcdir/fakeinstall/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d" must be removed, because that directory does not exist.

Yea this package has not been updated in a long time. I take your word for it that the PKGBUILD works and updated it. I only commented out the debug and !strip options.

Current pkgbuild does not install json file with driver description (/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json) and loader cannot find the driver (/usr/lib/libvulkan_intel.so). So vkCreateInstance fails.

This pkgbuild solves the problem: https://pastebin.com/k5rxNt0q

Haagch,

are you sure this package is still needed now both intel and radeon vulkan support is integrated in mesa ?

configure: error: Package requirements (pthread-stubs) were not met

Needs libpthread-stubs from AUR to compile.

Ah I changed that locally and didn't update the AUR. Now it should work. They changed something in their configure script so --with-vulkan-icddir does something very weird now, but when removing --with-vulkan-icddir from the configure options, it does the right thing now.

Well, I fixed the PKGBUILD and it seems to work.

Hopefully in the future the mesa packages will not have too strong dependencies so that the vulkan driver can be installed separately. If not, I guess users will have the repo vulkan-intel installed and can additionally install vulkan-intel-git into another directory. The icd loading mechanism then can take care of what driver is used..
