Unable to build Amber_Cmake Error_INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES

[varnam379]

Trying to build Amber on Windows using:
cmake -GNinja -DVulkan_LIBRARY="C:\VulkanSDK\1.2.135.0" ../..

Getting error as follows:

CMake Error in samples/CMakeLists.txt:
  Target "Vulkan::Vulkan" contains relative path in its
  INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES:

    "C:/VulkanSDK/1.2.135.0/include"

Here is the complete output after cmake:

cmake -GNinja -DVulkan_LIBRARY="C:\VulkanSDK\1.2.135.0" ../..

Any help on fixing this issue?

Hi. The Amber repo is here: https://github.com/google/amber
So you might want to file an issue over there.

This looks like it might be an issue with mixing cygwin and non-cygwin tools. Is your CMake provided by cygwin by any chance? It might work better if you use a non-cygwin CMake.

It looks like you have opened an issue in Amber:
google/amber#856

so I will close this.
