C:/VulkanSDK/1.4.304.1/include\vulkan/vulkan_hpp_macros.hpp(148,38): fatal error C1017: invalid integer constant expression

Hi,

I've just cloned your repo and try to test it.
I have the SDK installed already. When I clone I generate with

Luca@LAPTOP-N7DVKIPC MINGW64 ~/Documents/Git/3DGS.cpp/build-1 (main)
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DVULKAN_SDK="C:/VulkanSDK/1.4.304.1"

This gives me this output:

I've checked the vulkan_hpp_macros.hpp for that specific line

#if ( VULKAN_HPP_TYPESAFE_CONVERSION == 1 )
#  define VULKAN_HPP_TYPESAFE_EXPLICIT
#else
#  define VULKAN_HPP_TYPESAFE_EXPLICIT explicit
#endif

So I've manually added to cmake -DVULKAN_HPP_TYPESAFE_CONVERSION=1. But nothing, still doesn't work.
Can you advice on what to do?

I've also just tried on a linux machine (Ubuntu 22.04).

I get what's probably an equivalent error:
