Vulkan API Samples编译失败求助：NDK r17构建报错解决方案

Hey there, I know how critical this is for your thesis—let's fix this build error right away. First, let's recap your setup to make sure we're on the same page:

• Ubuntu 14.04
• Android Studio 3.1.2
• NDK r17
• Compile SDK: API 24 (Android 7.0)
• Gradle 3.3

错误核心原因 #

The error you're hitting boils down to this critical line:

error: delete called on 'shaderc::CompileOptions::IncluderInterface' that is abstract but has non-virtual destructor [-Werror,-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor]

Here's why this is happening:

1. The shaderc::CompileOptions::IncluderInterface abstract class in NDK r17 lacks a virtual destructor—a C++ requirement for base classes designed to be inherited.
2. Your build has -Werror enabled (visible in the compile flags), which elevates this compiler warning to a fatal build error.

解决方案 #

1. 升级NDK（推荐长期修复）

NDK r17 is quite outdated, and Google fixed this shaderc bug in later releases (starting from r18 or newer). Here's how to update:

• Open Android Studio, navigate to Tools > SDK Manager > SDK Tools
• Check Show Package Details, then select a stable, newer NDK version (like r21e, which works well with Android Studio 3.1.2)
• Download the new NDK, then update your project's reference:
  • In local.properties, set ndk.dir=/path/to/your/new/ndk
  • Or in your module's build.gradle, add ndkVersion "your-new-version" inside the android block

2. 临时禁用该警告（快速应急方案）

If you can't upgrade NDK right now, you can suppress this specific warning from breaking your build:

• Open your project's CMakeLists.txt (the one linked to the vsamputils target)
• Add one of these lines to adjust the compile flags:

  # Apply only to the vsamputils target (cleaner approach)
  target_compile_options(vsamputils PRIVATE -Wno-error=delete-non-virtual-dtor)
  
  # Or apply globally to all targets (less recommended, but faster)
  # add_compile_options(-Wno-error=delete-non-virtual-dtor)
  

• Sync your project and rebuild

This will let the compiler ignore this specific issue while you wrap up your thesis work, but remember to upgrade NDK long-term to avoid other potential bugs.

After applying either fix, try rebuilding the vulkan_sample target again. The error should disappear, and your build should complete successfully.
