Qt5 Vulkan

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Based on the documentation of QVulkanWindow you should only need to install the SDK on Windows.

What is your current issue ?
Did you try one of the Vulkan example ?

It appears Qt can't find the necessary Vulkan headers, since its symbols are marked as unknown. Is it possible to see where Qt is looking for these headers? Or does it only use VULKAN_SDK?

Oh sorry!
What I meant is that when trying to build any of the examples, Qt can't find any Vulkan symbols.
It seems it can't find vulkan.h, but isn't generating any explicit errors due to:

// In qvulkaninstance.h:
#if !defined(Q_CLANG_QDOC) && __has_include(<vulkan/vulkan.h>)
#include <vulkan/vulkan.h>
#else
...
#endif

Are you building from Qt Creator ?

Yes, I am building from Qt Creator.

Did you check that

@John-Doe-2 said in Qt5 Vulkan:

VULKAN_SDK

Is defined in the Build part of the Project panel ?

I can see both VULKAN_SDK and VK_SDK_PATH in Build Environment. They are both set to correct values (C:\VulkanSDK\1.2.182.0).

Then I would add something like

INCLUDEPATH += $VULKAN_SDK/includes
LIBS += $VULKAN_SDK/lib

to the .pro file.

First, excuse me for the late reply. A couple of things came up and I forgot to look into this problem until now.
Second, I reinstalled both Qt and Vulkan and it works now. I think what was happening is that I had improperly installed the Vulkan SDK, but I wasn't having any issues due to it until I tried to use it with Qt.
Thank you very much for your help, and sorry again for the delay.
