Compiling shaders

[m1cster]

Is there any trick on how to compile shaders outside of the BGFX project directory (got problems on a m1 Mac mini)? I was trying to run the following command on a shader:

../bgfx/.build/osx-arm64/bin/shadercRelease -f shader/v_simple.sc -o v_simple.bin --platform osx --type vertex --profile metal --varyingdef shader/varying.def.sc --verbose -i ../bgfx/src

and it failed with the message:

ERROR: 0:11: 'u_modelViewProj' : unknown variable
ERROR: 0:11: 'function call arguments' : Expected
ERROR: 0:11: 'assignment expression' : Expected
ERROR: 0:11: 'declaration' : Expected
(11): error at column 44, HLSL parsing failed.
ERROR: 5 compilation errors. No code generated.

If I copy my shaders into the examples/01-cubes folder (or any examples folder) and run the same command, it works like a charm.

What am I missing?

Can you add your shader code? u_modelViewProj is defined in #include <bgfx_shader.sh>, so you should have that close to the top of your shader src.

That was exactly the problem, the #include <bgfx_shader.sh> was missing! Thx a lot
