Description Fabio Rossi 2015-12-06 00:18:25 UTC
The glsl_compiler, below src/glsl, is built during the compilation phase but it's not installed by default. I think it makes sense to have it installed
Comment 1 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2015-12-06 17:37:21 UTC
What would you do with it, if it were installed?
Comment 2 Fabio Rossi 2015-12-06 18:00:33 UTC
I have recently used it to debug a shader program (at least from the compilation point of view), so I have thought this tool might be useful for other people who might ignore its existence. Ok, it's a pretty specialistic tool but currently it is necessary to compile the mesa sources via ebuild to access it.

I'm not sure I want to make this change in Gentoo...

If you want, please email mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org with this suggested change (and ideally a patch).
