Missing instructions for macOS Metal #2472
Comments
Confirmed, after installing the full XCode from the mac AppStore, the example runs just fine. I wonder if there would be any other way to make this runnable? Any lightweight options of installing only the metal support somehow? Or should I just add the instructions on the Getting started doc for installing the full XCode app? |
In case it helps anyone in the future, I already did have XCode installed, but it still wasn't finding metal, so running |
would be great to emit a human readable message with those instructions so that people don't have to search the internet! |
@ikamensh yes, we could do something like that in the |
I haven't contributed to gfx so far, so I don't know anything about the code base. Could you lay out a design idea, what conditions do I need to capture, etc. and few links to relevant places in code? |
The instructions for getting started with
gfx-rs
on macOS are lacking.The Readme instructs:
The Getting Started guide only has instructions for Fedora and Ubuntu.
With the instructions provided, running on macOS 10.14.1 (18B75), with only the XCode command-line utils installed (not the full XCode IDE and everything), you bump into the following error:
After a quick googling, this seems to suggest that the relevant tools might be only available after installing the full XCode distribution.
(I'll report back when I get to a place with proper internet again so that I can download the full XCode, and see if that solves the issue. If it does, I'll gladly write a PR with the step-by-step instructions ❤️ )
