Trying to build https://github.com/ash-rs/ash and run cargo run --bin texture but I'm not sure how I'm expected to install Vulkan on macOS.

I tried installing molten-vk and vulkan-tools but neither of them fixed the issue:

ld: library 'vulkan' not found

Am I missing a setup step?

So I got it working after a short bit of research.

You need to download and install the SDK from https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#mac.

(Unfortunately the default install location is ~/VulkanSDK/1.3.280.1/ but I'll overlook that for the moment since I don't have a better place to put it on my mac.)

There are some checkboxes to choose while installing. At first I didn't check any of them, set my LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH manually. It built but then failed at runtime with VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT.

Then I reinstalled with all the checkboxes and it seems to work now.

I'll leave it to another user or a later date to figure out which checkbox put things all in the right places, since it wasn't immediately obvious to me.
