I’m currently looking into Vulkan. As part of that, Vulkan validation layers came up. They are useful when developing, but not so much in a release build so it would be handy to have a way of automatically enabling/disabling them.

Release builds could also skip building dev tools.

This might be realized with something like a build.conf that contains information like whether the current build is a release build, what version it is, endianness, etc.

Alternatively, the build command could be extended to have arguments for that.

Input welcome.

For now adding the FOSSVG_DEBUG macro on the command line where needed.
