CSFML on macOS (12.x) crashes on start

[BlastlessAnthony]

I tried to run a CSFML program that I compiled (and obviously linked) but when I tried to create a window the program will just crash and the error I got back was:

I don't really know what any of this means... because I'm a Windows developer. Probably not a valid excuse though.


Here is the code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)

  sfRenderWindow *window = sfRenderWindow_create(vidmode, sfTexture_updateFromRenderWindow, sfDefaultStyle, NULL);

    sfRenderWindow_clear(window, sfBlack);
    sfRenderWindow_display(window);

  sfRenderWindow_destroy(window);

Did you build CSFML yourself?
If so, did you link SFML statically into it?

[BlastlessAnthony]

Oh... that might be the problem. I didn't build CSFML myself but instead used the pre-compiled libraries in the github releases. I didn't think I would need to compile it from source because of that.

Also I dynamically linked CSFML and used RUNPATH.
