I cloned the brenwill Cinder repo:

```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/brenwill/Cinder.git

```

and built Cinder:

```
cd xcode
./fullbuild.sh

```

During installation, I got this error:

```
ld: file not found: /Users/mtomasello/Cinder/xcode/build/cinder.build/Debug/cinder_vulkan.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/CodeGen.o
Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld failed with exit code 1

```

After this error, I get the messages that a series of build commands failed, all in this vein:

```
The following build commands failed:
	CompileC build/cinder.build/Debug/cinder_vulkan.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/CodeGen.o /Khronos/SPIRV/glslang/glslang-bw/glslang/GenericCodeGen/CodeGen.cpp normal x86_64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

....

```

When I try to run the only xcode sample, FishTornado, I get the error:

```
No such file or directory: '../../../../lib/libcinder.a'

```

when running on release configuration and a similar message for `'../../../../lib/libcinder_d.a'` when trying to run in degub configuration because of course I don’t have these files.

I then tried running

```
xcodebuild -project cinder.xcodeproj -target cinder -configuration Debug

```

and got the error

```

What am I missing?
