Cannot compile shaders

[Syphius]

Hello,

My configuration:

• Windows 11
• Visual studio 2022 or 2019
• Latest Windows SDK 10.0.22621.0
• I used the last DXC : [https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/releases/tag/v1.7.2207]

Everything compile fine, except shaders, I have the same messages for every shaders:

It show no error, but fail anyway.

I have the same errors for SPIR-V:

What I already tried :

• Use the DXC from windows SDK
• Tried SPIR-V
• Regenerate the solution with cmake

Could you help me please? I don't know what to do

[apanteleev]

That's odd.
What happens if you run nvrhi-scomp.exe from console, as shown in the log?

..\..\..\bin\nvrhi-scomp.exe --infile "C:/Dev/donut/donut_examples/examples/basic_triangle/shaders.cfg" --parallel --out "C:/Dev/donut/donut_examples/bin/shaders/basic_triangle/dxil" --platform dxil --cflags "-Zi -Qembed_debug -O3 -WX -Zpr" -I "C:/Dev/donut/donut_examples/donut/include" --compiler "C:/Users/myusername/Downloads/dxc_2022_07_18 (1)/bin/x64/dxc.exe"

One guess is that there might be an issue with the DXC path that contains a space and (1), but I'm not sure.

Thank you very much,

It was a space in path problem, but not only for the dxc, the project was build in a directory (c:\Dev X\donut\donut_examples).

I re-did everything in path : C:\donut_example, and everything works now.
