Somehow when I run cargo run or build, it failed to build with those messages.

I have never tested the code on Mac. Honestly I stole this piece of platform code from somewhere I don't remember. I should have deleted it. From the error message, it seems that pub unsafe fn create_surface<E: EntryV1_0, I: InstanceV1_0> should be renamed to match the imports.

However, even if this part of the code gets fixed, this project still won't work on Mac because it uses Nvidia extensions of Vulkan for GPU ray tracing. As in the README, the ideal platform of this project is Linux(or Windows) with a Nvidia RTX GPU.

Thanks for the fast feedback. If it has been tested only on linux, can I do it WSL because i have another box at work which has RTX 3080 but it runs windows

[KaminariOS]

WSL may work but it wont be easy.

Acutally Windows does work, see this: https://github.com/KaminariOS/rustracer/issues/9#issuecomment-1545267587.

He mentioned that he got it to work on Windows easily.

I never tested it myself because I don't use Windows.

Thanks..I will test it
