Project cannot compile on branch step052

[lucasebana]

Hello! I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, I tried to build the project on branch step052, using the command in the readme, but I get the following error :

cmake . -B build -- Using X11 for window creation -- Configuring done CMake Error in webgpu/CMakeLists.txt: IMPORTED_LOCATION not set for imported target "webgpu". CMake Error in webgpu/CMakeLists.txt: IMPORTED_LOCATION not set for imported target "webgpu". -- Generating done CMake Generate step failed. Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.

Hi Lucas,

Did you close this issue because it ended up working? Otherwise I just updated the branch could you check again?

FTR this repository holds the hopefully most up to date content of the webgpu/ dist: https://github.com/eliemichel/WebGPU-binaries

Hello, Oh I'm sorry I closed the issue mistakenly. The first error is gone but now there's an issue with the second command :

$ cmake --build build
...

Can you try either

layoutDesc.bindGroupLayouts = &((WGPUBindGroupLayout)bindGroupLayout);

or

layoutDesc.bindGroupLayouts = (WGPUBindGroupLayout*)&bindGroupLayout;

I have mostly tested on Windows so far, sorry that you are the one going through these compiler difference details, shouldn't be a showstoper though! I'll eventually set up some continuous integration like I did here.

Okay, it's all working now ! Using this line :

layoutDesc.bindGroupLayouts = (WGPUBindGroupLayout*)&bindGroupLayout;

Thanks for the help!
