What is the issue?

While compiling for macOS I got the following error:

CMake Error at ml/backend/ggml/ggml/src/CMakeLists.txt:257 (add_subdirectory):
  add_subdirectory given source "ggml-vulkan" which is not an existing
  directory.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  ml/backend/ggml/ggml/src/CMakeLists.txt:313 (ggml_add_backend)

I check everything and I think the directory is missing, because if I create the directory I got different error:

CMake Error at ml/backend/ggml/ggml/src/CMakeLists.txt:257 (add_subdirectory):
  The source directory

    /Users/luislourenco/Downloads/ollama/ml/backend/ggml/ggml/src/ggml-vulkan

  does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  ml/backend/ggml/ggml/src/CMakeLists.txt:313 (ggml_add_backend)

I'm building from reposirty because I have a macOS and I want to use he GPU.

I happy compile vulkan with no issues, but I'm stuck here and I can't find the files needed to fill the directory "ggml-vulkan"

I'm compiling using cmake -B build -DGGML_METAL=OFF -DGGML_VULKAN=ON

I'm following this two tutorials:
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK
https://github.com/ollama/ollama
https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1016

What should be my next move?

Thank you.

Relevant log output

  directory.

  ml/backend/ggml/ggml/src/CMakeLists.txt:313 (ggml_add_backend)


After I create the directory:

  The source directory

    /Users/luislourenco/Downloads/ollama/ml/backend/ggml/ggml/src/ggml-vulkan
