Question about building vulkan sample github codes

Vulkan
1

Hello, everyone

I tried to build the following github codes, but it failed

What is did are as below

git clone --recursive https://github.com/khronosGroup/Vulkan-samples

cd Vulkan-samples

And I installed Python 3.12, CMake (v3.2?)
I have Visual Studio 2022
I think I installed clang-format-8

and I did below

cmake -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -S . -Bbuild/windows

but this failed. It says there is no Visual Studio 2017

so I did below

cmake -G"Visual Studio 17 2022 Win64" -S . -Bbuild/windows

or

cmake -G"Visual Studio 17 2022" -AWin64 -S . -Bbuild/windows

Anyway I tried, it failed

So could you please helo me with this issue?

Thank you and have a nice weekend

  • use stable CMake version, not RC
  • delete the ./build folder before you retry
  • try -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64, which are the proper generator and architecture names as per manual

Dear krOoze:

Hello, thank you so much for your help and kindness

I found I missed the statement at that manual (github)

cmake -G"Visual Studio 17 2022" -Ax64 -S . -Bbuild/windows

No, I figured out and it compiled perfectly and it succeeded to run

So thank you again and have a great weekend, krOoze

Best regards,
