About:
Qt Shader Tools provides a cross-platform pipeline for compiling GLSL shader code into SPIR-V and other intermediate formats. It integrates with the Qt build system to automate shader compilation and resource embedding. This simplifies graphics development by handling shader management across different hardware and graphics APIs.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform shader compilation
  • Qt build system integration
  • SPIR-V generation
  • Automatic resource embedding
Use Cases:
  • Compiling GLSL shaders for Vulkan or OpenGL
  • Integrating shaders into Qt applications
  • Automating shader builds in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • glslang – Standalone compiler; Qt Shader Tools provides deeper build system integration
  • DirectX Shader Compiler (dxc) – Focuses on DirectX/HLSL; Qt Shader Tools is API-agnostic and Qt-centric
