Title: Failed to share Open Gl context problem in the first sample
Post by: Carlmycol on February 23, 2015, 02:59:14 am

Hello everybody,

Today I just downloaded SFML and started to program some basic things. I followed very carefully the steps to get SFML into MingW+Code::Blocks but I've got this issue: when I open the sample given in the installation tutorial I get a "Failed to share Open Gl context" in the cmd window.

I asked to google but I don't find anything. No, the message appears when I run the executable, not when I close a window. Moreover, I'm just opening a window and drawing a circle.

The code is here http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.2/start-cb.php (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.2/start-cb.php)

PD: I can draw some basic shapes as circles and rectangles also I can move them over the window with no problem, except the one I mentioned above.

Do you have any idea of what is happening? Can this issue make more problems in the future?

Maybe I need to create the project as OpenGL project or add a dll in the executable folder?

I would appreciate any help, really.

Greetings!

Is your GPU driver uptodate? (Don't guess, check!)
What GPU do you have?

Hello colleague, thanks for support.

Yes. My drivers were not up to date. I had to install all the drivers needed!

PD: I've been using the SFML last days, I'll show what I've done, I had some issues too. I guess dirvers problems again. I'll open a new post

Thanks again
