Ubuntu: Examples fail to build

[mckees]

OS: Ubuntu 20.04 Kernel: 5.4.0-48-generic GPU: RX 580 Vulkan Instance Version: 1.2.154 VkPhysicalDeviceDriverProperties:

driverID           = DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV
driverName         = radv
driverInfo         = Mesa 20.0.8 (LLVM 10.0.0)
conformanceVersion = 1.2.0.0

Steps:

1. Install codelite
2. git clone https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge
3. chmod +x PRE_BUILD.command && ./PRE_BUILD.command
4. Run codelite and open workspace in The-Forge/Examples_3/Unit_Tests/UbuntuCodelite
5. In the sidebar, double click on the project that you want to build to activate the project
6. Right click the project and select "build". No errors observed in build.
7. Click the little running stick person in the upper left corner of the IDE above the project list.
8. Select "Execute"

Bug: Blank window pops up. The terminal window that pops up shows several errors because it can't find the file: The-Forge/Examples_3/Unit_Tests/UbuntuCodelite/01_Transformations/Debug/Shaders/config.conf

Command line output attached here

We are looking into this. Thanks for reporting this. I get back to you as soon as we have something.

Hi @mckees, looking at the output it seems vulkan was not able to create the swapchain.

Could you try to change the line in Vulkan.cpp::3389: swapChainCreateInfo.minImageCount = clamp(pDesc->mImageCount, caps.minImageCount, caps.maxImageCount); into swapChainCreateInfo.minImageCount = pDesc->mImageCount;

Then "rebuild" the project and see if you can execute it now.

Should be fixed.
