Hello there!

I’ve installed and compiled the libraries with Vulkan support, but when I try to call this method is not available.

Taking a look into the glfw3.h I see in grey #if defined(VK\_VERSION\_1\_0) and all the methods below the sentence, including glfwCreateWindowSurface(…).

So if I open the declaration for the macro, in vulkan.h apparently is fine:

**#define VK\_VERSION\_1\_0 1**

I’m a bit stucked because I have no idea what it’s happening here 😛

Ok, fixed!.

In glfw3.h header the Vulkan include is #include \<vulkan/vulkan.h\> and it’s not finding my vulkan header… 🙂
