← Back to context Comment by direwolf20 12 hours ago Does AMD use a statically linked OpenGL? 3 comments direwolf20 Reply holowoodman 12 hours ago AMD uses the dynamically linked system libGL.so, usually Mesa. direwolf20 10 hours ago So you still need dynamic linking to load the right driver for your graphics card. holowoodman 9 hours ago Most stuff like that uses some kind of "icd" mechanism that does 'dlopen' on the vendor-specific parts of the library. Afaik neither OpenGL nor Vulkan nor OpenCL are usable without at least dlopen, if not full dynamic linking.
