The packages(vulkansdk) not found, please run xmake repo -u first!

[nahahahah]

Hello !

As described by the error in the title, I'm unable to add vulkansdk to my project. I clearly see it in the packages of this repo and even xrepo search found it. Here's the simple xmake I have :

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
add_languages("cxx20")

add_requires("vulkan-headers", "vulkan-loader", "vulkansdk")

add_rules("plugin.compile_commands.autoupdate", { outputdir = ".vscode" })
target("vulkan_test")
    add_packages("vulkan-headers", "vulkan-loader", "vulkansdk")

    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")

I did update xmake to the last version. I updated the repo as well. Where did it go wrong ?

Thanks,

k

vulkansdk in fetch only package in xmake-repo now, you need to install it manually by yourself.

xmake will find the installed vulkansdk on your system environment.

Hello, ruki,

(First of all, sorry I thought I opened a discussion in xmake-repo not xmake. That's my bad)

Thank you for your fast answer and help !

Indeed, after checking some files and issues I noticed that it was necessary. Is vulkansdk even a necessary package at this point ? I have this impression that only vulkan-headers is mandatory to use Vulkan (maybe vulkan-loader as well ?). Anyways thank you again !

Best regards,

k

For Vulkan development, Vulkan SDK is not required.

you need only vulkan-loader
