vulkan samples not building

[udnaan]

What

Vulkan samples do not build

Where

Debian buster (10.5) X86_64

Why

findvulkan.mk has hardcoded paths for each distro. Unfortunately, debian is not one of the included distro and since the makefile fails to match a case, it declares libX11.so as missing.

Solution

/usr/sbin/ldconfig -p | grep -i libx11 is a more reliable way to search for libraries on any modern linux system that cuda supports.

that is correct Debian OS support needs to be added, thanks for the suggestion regarding ldconfig.
