Subject: [PATCH] gnu: mesa: Add native-search-paths.
Date: Wed,  9 Aug 2023 02:08:49 +0800

* gnu/packages/gl.scm (mesa) [native-search-paths]: Export XDG_DATA_DIRS.

According to
https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/view/1.3.231.1/linux/loader_and_layer_interface.html,
Vulkan loader search for manifest files in several directories.  Some of them
are in the $HOME directory, some of them are set during compile-time.  We
don't raelly want vulkan-loader to depend on mesa during compile-time, since
we couldn't assume that mesa is the only package providing Vulkan drivers.
Thus, it's better for us to export XDG_DATA_DIRS in mesa, so that when both
packages are installed, Vulkan loader could find the corresponding Vulkan
drivers by environment varaible.
