efxc2

efxc2 is an enhanced version of fxc2 that compiles High-Level Shader Language (.HLSL) files into DirectX 11 shaders using the d3dcompiler_47.dll Application Programming Interface (API).

The original fxc2 program is described as "A wine-runnable version of Microsofts Shader Compiler fxc" and is available at https://github.com/mozilla/fxc2. Unfortunately, fxc2 does not appear to be maintained and I have encountered quite a few issues using that program. So I made my own modifications to the original fxc2 source-code including a pull request, mozilla/fxc2#3 into my own enhanced program (efxc2).

Usage:

This program is compatible with the syntax used by Microsoft's Effect-Compiler Tool (fxc). That program is documented at:
