What is a work around for the lunarG sdk, it will not install

Vulkan
1

We are working on the imx8 and it needs to be in Vulkan. Problem is the NXP framework requires the LunarG SDK to be installed. The apt install is broken.

Any tips on how to work around this?

Also, what is lunarG’s relationship with khronos, am I posting on the wrong site?

Could use the standalone SDK tarball instead.

Qt would likely be required for the Vulkan Configurator GUI, or perhaps the SDL library? As long as you are not using these, it should be fine to skip those dependencies. I don’t know the linux-fu how to do that though…

Additionally, you could petition at LunarXchange to package the SDK better and more modular like on windows.

Thank you for suggesting that, I will look around on the site and find it. All I seen was the “main” sdk that has those dependencies.
