An effort to bring the Vulkan software stack (Mesa / Lavapipe) to NetBSD , and to document and automate the process so it can be reproduced and maintained. Status: beta — Lavapipe Vulkan driver builds, installs, and registers on NetBSD Milestone reached: Mesa configures, compiles, links, installs , and registers the Lavapipe software Vulkan driver on NetBSD 10.1 amd64, against LLVM 19.1.7. The driver ( libvulkan_lvp.so , ~17 MB) installs into /usr/pkg/lib , and its ICD manifest (advertising Vulkan API 1.4) installs into /usr/pkg/share/vulkan/icd.d/ , so a Vulkan loader on the system can discover it. ldd resolves every dependency cleanly. The entire process — environment setup, dependency builds, the Mesa build, and installation — is automated end to end and reproducible on a fresh install. Prebuilt binaries are coming. The tooling to build, fingerprint, and publish prebuilt artifacts is in place, and the build scripts already know how to fetch and install a matching prebuilt instead of building from source.…
