Problems with TGA and my CMakeLists

Hello, I am new Arch Linux user, and currently I am trying to use VS Code together with CMake and Vulkan to do my C++ university work, but when I build my folder I encounter the following problems..

[main] Building folder: framework

Re: Problems with TGA and my CMakeLists

What commands are you using to configure and build? Typically I do something like the following:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

As an aside, does your university work have a requirement forcing you to build VS Code from source? A binary already exists in the repos (called code), and the relevant Arch wiki page lists several additional AUR offerings. If one of those does what you need then I would highly encourage going that route for ease of upgrades and uninstallations.

Finally, if you do need to build from source, another thing to verify is that you have all dependencies installed. Sometimes (to me, always) cmake error messages can be a bit cryptic, so I can't tell what if anything is missing in terms of dependencies. But a place you can start is to go through the dependencies listed on the arch package page for code and make sure everything's installed.
