Can't build for UWP

[GiantNuker]

Trying to build to UWP, used the command in the readme:

cmake -D CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore -D CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0 -S . -B

-- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.18362.0 to target Windows 10.0.

[GiantNuker]

same thing with

cmake -S . -B ./build/Win64 -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A "Win64"

[DiligentGraphics]

Double check that you have Universal Windows Platform development tools installed

[GiantNuker]

yep. but notice the same thing happened with the one to build a normal Win64 solution

[DiligentGraphics]

Your command for Win64 seems to be invalid. Should be -A x64 https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.16/generator/Visual%20Studio%2016%202019.html#platform-selection

[GiantNuker]

Ok after fixing that, cant run hello triangle

[DiligentGraphics]

Can you post debug output and the call stack?

On Windows samples by default start in D3D12 mode. Looks like your GPU does not support D3D12, and the samples crash (this is not very user-friendly, should likely display an error message).

Diligent Engine: CRITICAL ERROR in Diligent::SampleApp::InitializeDiligentEngine() (SampleApp.cpp, 180): Failed to find compatible hardware adapters

You can try other backends using -mode d3d11 and similar command line options. https://github.com/DiligentGraphics/DiligentSamples#build-and-run-instructions

[GiantNuker]

Ok thank you; You figured out in a different issue that it dosent support vulcan either but UWP would never use that, right?

[GiantNuker]

Where do i input the arguments? (Its not CMake)

[DiligentGraphics]

In the command line of the application:

UWP only supports Direct3D11 and Direct3D12. Vulkan and OpenGL are not available (and not needed). Direct3D12 and Vulkan are next-generation APIs that come together most of the time. They are either both supported by a GPU or both are not supported.

[DiligentGraphics]

For UWP:

[GiantNuker]

Thanks! Now that all the obvious problems are out of the way, I look forward to using your engine :) It seems like you've( and contributors) done a great job.
