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
It also throws an error code: 65543, i didnt add it because i thought it was an error in my code that i wasnt able to see, im sorry, anyway, do you need more info about my system?
Try doing what e0qdk suggests in this comment as it seems to be an issue with how GLFW creates windows in wayland. You’re technically creating an eGL window through it and the profile version is different (egl2 is opengl4.x compatible while egl1 is opengl 3.x compatible I think?), so just remove the window calls to glfwWindowHint and see what version it tries to use by default
i commented all the calls to glfwWindowHint, and now it just exits inmediately with code 0, so i think it is working, although it doesnt create any window either, there is a way to see which version is using by default?
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
