For some times (such as those from Google Games Platform) no default is known. Usage of these without providing a concrete type in the project root generates a compile error.

```zig

const vkgen = @import("vulkan-zig/generator/index.zig");
|

const vkgen = @import("vulkan_zig");
|

|

|

...

const exe = b.addExecutable("my-executable", "src/main.zig");
|
||||
|

const gen = vkgen.VkGenerateStep(b, "path/to/vk.xml", "vk.zig");
|

exe.addPackage(gen.package);
|

builder,

&[_][]const u8{"glslc", "--target-env=vulkan1.2"},

"-o",

exe.addPackage(shader_comp.getPackage("shaders"));
|

shader_comp.add("shader", "path/to/shader.frag", .{});

shader_comp.add("shader_frag", "path/to/shader.frag", .{});

Upon compilation, glslc is then invoked to compile each shader, and the result is placed within `zig-cache`. All shaders which are compiled using a particular `ShaderCompileStep` are imported in a single Zig file using `@embedFile`, and this file can be added to an executable as a package using `getPackage`. To slightly improve compile times, shader compilation is cached; as long as a shader's source and its compile commands stay the same, the shader is not recompiled. The spir-v code for any particular shader is aligned to that of a 32-bit integer as follows, as required by vkCreateShaderModule:
