Since Librashader is built in Rust, a cargo-sources.json file is required to install the required dependencies. The cargo-sources.json file typically needs to be updated when ares bumps its Librashader version. This section will cover how to update that file.
- Identify the required Librashader version by looking at the
librashaderfile, https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares-deps/blob/main/deps.linux/librashader#L2. - Download and extract the corresponding Librashader version to a folder of your choice:
- https://api.github.com/repos/SnowflakePowered/librashader/tarball/librashader-v#.#.#
- Replace the
#.#.#with the version you located in Step 1.
- Download the latest
flatpak-cargo-generator.pyfile from https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder-tools/blob/master/cargo/flatpak-cargo-generator.py and place the file in the root of the extracted Librashader folder. - Use the following command to convert the
Cargo.lockfile in the Librashader root folder to acargo-sources.jsonfile:python3 ./flatpak-cargo-generator.py ./Cargo.lock -o cargo-sources.json
- Once the
cargo-sources.jsonfile is created, replace the currentcargo-sources.jsonfile with the latest version.
