← Back to context Comment by holowoodman 1 month ago AMD uses the dynamically linked system libGL.so, usually Mesa. 2 comments holowoodman Reply direwolf20 1 month ago So you still need dynamic linking to load the right driver for your graphics card. holowoodman 1 month 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.
