Title: [LINUX] Failed to create an OpenGL context for this window
Post by: christoph on October 04, 2008, 10:22:11 am

Anyone seen something like

Code: [Select]

Failed to create an OpenGL context for this window
Failed to create an OpenGL context for this window

before?

An Idea what could have caused this? To me, it looks like some very early OpenGL / X11 initlialization.

Can you give more information about your distrib version, drivers, graphics card, SFML version, ... ?

Can you run other OpenGL programs like glxgears ?

It's not my system that's failing but I've gotten an bug report containing this.

The affected system is an debian lenny amd64 with SFML-1.3 (as present in the debian archive -- differences (http://patch-tracking.debian.net/package/libsfml))

Can you get more informations about this system ? Can you show the source code which produced this error ?

It's this (https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/spaceshooter/) project. The exact tarball causing the problem is http://testing.coders-nemesis.eu/spaceshooter-sfml-1.0pre.tar.gz -- for building you may have to fix the liblog4cxx path in Makefile.am (sed -i -e "s@/usr/local/lib@/usr/lib@g" Makefile should do, too)

I'm mailing the person finding this problem so there probably will be more information soon.
