Title: SFML on Pi showing segmentation error
Post by: aabs7 on July 05, 2017, 11:06:01 pm

when I try to run SFML on Pi ssh server, it shows segmentation error. But when I run it in real VNC pi virtual desktop terminal, it runs.

I want to run SFML program on ssh .
Is there any solution to this problem?

Describe your problem properly. Nobody can help you with "it crashes". Why does it crash? What's the error? What modules are you using?

SFML window needs a running X server.

Actually, I am running SFML on Raspberry Pi. when I run the code i.e lets say rendering window, it runs well when we run it from the monitor of Raspberry Pi.
But when I make a secure shell for Pi(ssh) on Linux without monitor and run the code through "ssh" of Pi , then it shows "SEGMENTATION FAULT"

For SFML to handle events we have to create window, But in SSH , it cannot open window to handle events. SO it is showing "SEGMENTATION FAULT"

Is there any possible way we can overcome this? i.e Handling events without Rendering window?

You need to forward X through ssh. Google it, you'll find plenty of results.
