Windows build error

Use the cmake tool with MSVC 2017 configure, reports this error. Maybe some file is missing.

CMake Error at src/raytrace/CMakeLists.txt:109 (add_library): Cannot find source file:

renderers/vulkan/shaders/vulkan_shaders.qrc

see the readme:

Steps to build Compile GLSL shaders to SPIR-V by running: src\raytrace\renderers\vulkan\shaders\compile.py. Configure & build the project using the top level CMakeLists.txt file.

[Nadrin]

As @sl1pkn07 pointed out - you need to compile GLSL shaders before building with CMake. compile.py generates Qt resource file needed by CMake configuration step - it'll fail if it's not present.

Thank you for your suggestion.

mmm @Nadrin what happen if launch the GLSL shaders build script when run the cmake command?

[sl1pkn07]

like:

With the above setup cmake will only recompile shaders on configure and not on rebuilds. I tried many variants of including shader compile step within cmake scripts and came to the conclusion that having a separate python script is the most convenient solution (even though you need to remember to run it after changing GLSL files).
