Development roadmap

Get Swiftshader build working with most important build options manually configurable (v0.1)

• use LLVM build from mesa-dist-win as blueprint;
• cleanup unneeded parts that mesa-dist-win uses;
• annonimize project name in source for easy code sharing;
• implement manual build options configuration,

Automatic build configuration (v0.2)

• write build configuration profiles;
• implement CI mode in which pauses and screen clears are skipped and questions have answears pre-filled.

Spawn buildbot (v1.0)

Write CI script that:

• gets swiftshader and this repository source code;
• executes build with each configuration profile;
• collects artifacts;
• publishes artifacts.

Usability improvements (v1.1)

• link to Khronos document about Vulkan Loader ICD discovery in readme;
• implemnt system-wide legacy type vulkan driver deployment;
• implement programs launcher with swiftshader as unique Vulkan driver;
• implement per application deployment with swiftshader as unique Vulkan driver;
• implement system-wide vulkan driver deployment via fake GPU or dummy software component if possible.

Support build with GN as an alternative to cmake (v1.2)

• create choice for it and integrate with build configuration profiles;
• research for and use cmake build options equivalents if possible.
