Can not build vkdt master on Debian stable 12.6

Software vkdt
1

This works for me, using v0.7.0:

git clone https://github.com/hanatos/vkdt.git
cd vkdt
cd bin
git checkout 0.7.0
git submodule update --init
make -j32
./vkdt

But if I try latest master I get an error:

git clone https://github.com/hanatos/vkdt.git
cd vkdt
cd bin
make

This is correct. Debian 12.6 has:

rustc --version
rustc 1.63.0

So, my only way out is to follow advice below?

Either upgrade to rustc 1.65 or newer, or use
cargo update -p toml_datetime@0.6.6 --precise ver
where `ver` is the latest version of `toml_datetime` supporting rustc 1.63.0

Seems like it!

sorry i’m not expert in rust and associated toolchains enough to give you a good answer. i have no idea how packages can update themselves in the background… the git commit to the rawler package i use is constant, it’s just that the dependencies update themselves. it’s like inverse code rot :slight_smile:

anyhow the workaround i use in the CI builds is to update the rust toolchain via:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

(see https://rustup.rs)

this will then use all the newest dependencies to make the build happy.

Hello @hanatos,

Thank you for the feedback.

Same here! :slight_smile: All I have is a rust installation.

OK. Good to know. I will probably try and update rustc locally for the vkdt build environment. I am aware that Debian stable is not the optimal build environment, since it is so conservative regarding package versions. Debian Testing is using rustc 1.78.0.

I got this on vkdt master with new modern rustc:

I got past all rustc complaints from before => my rustc is now up to date for vkdt master.

I will file a proper issue report later.

this means your ffmpeg is too old. you need 6+. if you’re ubuntu there is some ppa for it. but you mentioned this is debian right? either get that from a newer repo or if you don’t want video you can disable it in the build by editing config.mk in the bin directory to contain

VKDT_USE_FFMPEG=0
export VKDT_USE_FFMPEG

Aha. Got it. Thank you very much. I suspected as much, a too old package, that is, but I had no idea it was caused by ffmpeg. I have:

ffmpeg
ffmpeg version 5.1.5-0+deb12u1

Yes, Debian stable 12.6, Bookworm. I will use a newer repo or disable video as you propose.

I can compile git master with VKDT_USE_FFMPEG=0 export VKDT_USE_FFMPEG in config.mk, but I get a runtime error:

./vkdt

I have a basic Vulkan operating since vkdt 0.7.0 works for me on the same system.

I have:

Debian 12.6
X11
Intel core I9 14900K
Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000

EDIT: Is this some NVIDIA GPU and Intel Core I9 GPU (Intel® UHD Graphics 770) interference?

hm. could you run ./vkdt -d all or at least ./vkdt -d qvk please? maybe it’ll be more verbose in which gpu it picks and ideally which extension it is missing.

the only additional extension i can think of that i might have added since 0.7.0 is some colour management swapchain thing that i was hoping would solve some issues on wayland (which it doesn’t). if it’s that i can remove it, but yeah… it might just select the wrong gpu.

EDIT: Thank you for your help. Just FYI, I will be traveling for a week, from tomorrow, with no access to my computer. => I will be silent.

okay thanks. since you said the old version had no issues, i removed the colour management thing. it doesn’t work anyways. this is now pushed, if you still have time to test you can pull. otherwise safe travels, we’ll talk after.

12

git master 0.8.99-59-gf2aa97e8 works for me with VKDT_USE_FFMPEG=0 and export VKDT_USE_FFMPEG in config.mk.

:partying_face: thanks for the high quality issue descriptions and for confirming. glad it’s working now.
