Linking Error when compiling.

[andihsu]

Visual Studio 2022 building output:

1>------ Build started: Project: Hazel, Configuration: Release x64 ------
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '\Lib\shaderc_shared.lib'
1>Done building project "Hazel.vcxproj" -- FAILED.

I tried to put the file in the project folder, but I cannot find where has that file included.

First of all make sure you have the Vulkan SDK installed.

I looked into the '\Lib\shaderc_shared.lib'
You can find it in the 'Dependencies.lua' file:
Library["ShaderC_Release"] = "%{LibraryDir.VulkanSDK}/shaderc_shared.lib"

the '%{LibraryDir.VulkanSDK}' is this:
LibraryDir["VulkanSDK"] = "%{VULKAN_SDK}/Lib"

In your error message the filepath it cannot open is '/Lib/shaderc_shared.lib', meaning that the Vulkan SDK is probably not installed.
since the path is not ...VulkanPath.../Lib/shaderc_shared.lib but just /Lib/shaderc_shared.lib.

I hope this helps. Make sure the Vulkan SDK is installed. If so recreate the projects files and try again.
Goodluck!

Extra note: if you have installed the Vulkan SDK on your own and it doesn't work. Try uninstalling and installing it again using the Setup.bat script.

@androidandyhsu Just open your VulkanSDK folder then run maintenancetool.exe -> Add or remove components -> select Shader Toolchain Debug Symbols for your architecture and next... next... After installation you will see new files in VulkanSDK dir and thats what you need
