Installing the softwareThe Offline Shader Compiler is called malisc.exe and installed as part of the Mali DeveloperTools. Set a path to where it is installed:C:\Program Files\ARM\Mali Developer Tools\Mali GPU Offline Shader Compiler vm.n\binTo set the correct configuration, click on Shader Development Studio → Compiler in thePreferences dialog box. See Figure 2-6:To provide the location of the offline compiler:Figure 2-6 Eclipse Preferences dialog box with Compiler pane1. Select the Compiler preference pane from the Preferences dialog box.2. Ensure the Offline Shader Compiler is enabled by checking the Use Offline Compilerbox.3. Click Browse… and browse to the new location of malisc.exe.4. Click OK to set the new location.2.3.2 Select a rendererA renderer is used to perform the actual rendering of a shader effect. Any device that is capableof rendering OpenGL ES 2.0 shaders can be used for this purpose. This is a powerful conceptthat enables you to render your shader effects on local or remote OpenGL ES 2.0 emulations, oreven on actual OpenGL ES 2.0 hardware, without performing any additional configuration.The process depends on our operating system:• Select a renderer for Windows• Select a renderer for Linux on page 2-10.Select a renderer for WindowsTo select or add a renderer to be used by the Windows version of Shader Development Studio:1. From the Preferences dialog box, select Shader Development Studio → Renderers todisplay the Renderers preference pane.Use the Renderers preference pane to manage connections to the renderers.The Shader Development Studio is shipped with a local renderer, that is launchedautomatically at start-up by the Shader Development Studio. The local renderer appearsin the list of renderers as Built-In Server. See Figure 2-7 on page 2-10:DUI0504C Copyright © 2009-2011 ARM. All rights reserved. 2-9ID011412Non-Confidential - Beta
Installing the softwareFigure 2-7 Default Renderers dialog boxNoteThe local renderer requires that the OpenGL ES 2.0 Emulator version 1.3 is installed onyour system.2. Select the Built-In Server renderer.3. If the device is not on the local network, you can add it manually by clicking AddRenderer. See Renderers on page 4-3 for more information on how to add a new renderer.4. Click OK to save the preferences that have been set and to close the Preferences dialogbox.5. The Shader Development Studio software is now configured.Select a renderer for LinuxTo select or add a renderer to be used by the Linux version of Shader Development Studio:1. From the Preferences dialog box, select Shader Development Studio → Renderers todisplay the Renderers preference pane.2. Click Add Renderer. The Add Renderer dialog is displayed.
