[[ru:Zink(ru)]]
'''Zink''' is a Vulkan driver that provides support for OpenGL(2.1-4.6), OpenGL ES on GPUs that only support Vulkan. Included in a free implementation of OpenGL, Vulkan API - '''Mesa'''

In the future, it may become a compatibility layer for new GPUs if they remove support for the already obsolete OpenGL.

The [[About ExaGear products|ExaGear Windows Emulator]] [[Turnip+Zink in ExaGear|can be used]] together with the open driver [[Turnip]] to achieve full 3D acceleration.

== Assembly in Mesa ==
To build Zink (also with OpenGL ES) in Mesa, you need to use these flags when building: <code>meson . build -Dgallium-va=false -Ddri-drivers= -Dgallium-drivers=zink,swrast -Ddri3=true -Dvulkan-drivers= -Dglx=xlib -Dplatforms=x11,wayland -Dbuildtype=release</code>

This configuration does not include the Vulkan drivers, because different GPUs require different drivers.

Instructions for building Zink with Turnip to run GPU Adreno in ExaGear is [[Turnip+Zink in ExaGear|here]].
