glscopeclient failed to compile with glslc not found on Ubuntu 20.04 Fossa

[minecraft2048]

Followed the instruction line by line at the getting started manual at here: https://www.antikernel.net/temp/glscopeclient-manual.pdf with master branch commit 3bc6b5f29650c555a83cbe3dfbb39e3d00467496, when I tried to compile it it failed with missing glslc error:

You need to install the Vulkan SDK from https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#linux.

This dependency was added very recently and hasn't made it into the docs yet. If you have any problems you can roll back to 4a96248c588ed5c14818201c6135b14a6d385a04 and it should build fine without Vulkan.

Installed Vulkan SDK, compiled it and it crashes with this error:

n310@n310-alienware:~/scopehal-apps/build$ glscopeclient 
MESA-INTEL: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0

Warning: ReadDataFile: Could not open file "shaders/SubtractFilter.spv"

CMake Error at lib/scopehal/CMakeLists.txt:17 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindYAML.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "YAML", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "YAML" with any of
  the following names:

    YAMLConfig.cmake
    yaml-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "YAML" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "YAML_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "YAML"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

while I can compile at master

This is a known issue. You can either copy the .spv files manually after the build or apply this patch: https://github.com/glscopeclient/scopehal/pull/671 The PR will probably be merged by @azonenberg when the current refactoring is done.

[azonenberg]

Should be fixed. Reopen if you still see the issue now that everything is merged.
