# Build Instructions
**VolcanoSamples pulls in [Volcano](https://github.com/ndsol/volcano)**
**for you.**
To build samples 1-5, type:
```
git clone https://github.com/ndsol/VolcanoSamples
VolcanoSamples/build.cmd
```
> On Windows, first install [git](https://git-scm.org), python 3 and
> [Visual C++](01glfw/visual-studio-cli.png). then type:
> `VolcanoSamples\build.cmd`
*Note: samples 6+ are built on demand. Each sample's README.md has instructions.*
### Toolkit
Lots of great tools offer an alternative view into how your app performs.
If you know of another great tool, please suggest it.
* **Vulkan Validation layers:** generally you want the validation layers
enabled all the time. To set the environment variables, be sure to launch the
app from the same command prompt as the `set` or `export` that enabled
validation:
Windows log is in volcano.log or Visual Studio's debug output:
```
set VK_LAYER_PATH=%~dp0\out\Debug\vulkan\explicit_layer.d
set VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation
out/Debug/01glfw
```
Mac and Linux log to the console:
```
export VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation
out/Debug/01glfw
```
On linux, be sure to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH first:
```
./build.cmd && export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/out/Debug
```
* [**AMD Radeon GPU Profiler**](https://gpuopen.com/rgp/)
If you have an AMD GPU, inspect each part of the GPU's operations.
* [**NVIDIA Nsight Graphics**](https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-graphics)
If you have an NVIDIA GPU, you may be able to inspect each part of the GPU's
operations.
On linux, a C++ frame capture may fail to build with this error:
`xcb/xcb_icccm.h: no such file or directory`.
**Resolution:** you need to "apt install libxcb-icccm4-dev".
