I was using this OpenGL tutorial, and when i compile the program and execute it, it fails with the error “Failed to create context: Arguments are inconsistent” the code: https://pastebin.com/1hQJYHxe Im using Arch Linux with sway (Wayland) glxinfo output: https://pastebin.com/VXWtib2W
65543 seems to be the constant defined for
GLFW_VERSION_UNAVAILABLEpassed back from the error handling code I was looking at in egl_context.c – that helps confirm I’m looking at the right chunk of code in GLFW’s guts, thanks.As I suggested in my other comment, try commenting out the hint lines and see if a window shows up at all. (Your program doesn’t do anything other than quit after making the window, so it should just flash a window briefly, I’d expect.)
it just starts and ends with code 0 without creating any output to the terminal or any window
That’s because you need to run an event loop, your window is being created successfully, but your program immediately exits after the fact because the line directly after glfwCreateWindow is return EXIT_SUCCESS. You’re probably good to follow the rest of the tutorial now
thank you :D
