Coredump on wayland

[kflak]

Hi,

Stumbled on a new wayland-related issue: I'm suddenly no longer able to run any oF-apps on wayland (tried both sway and Hyprland). xorg works fine. The error I'm getting from a clean, empty default project created with the projectGenerator is:

 [ error ] ofAppGLFWWindow: 65550: X11: Platform not initialized
make: *** [../../../libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project/makefileCommon/compile.project.mk:184: run] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

If I set up the app to run as OF_FULLSCREEN, then I get an additional error:

[ error ] ofAppGLFWWindow: 65548: Wayland: The platform does not support setting the window position

Running of_v0.12.0_linux64gcc6_release on Arch Linux, and I'm using the glfw-git package as mentioned in this issue. This used to work just fine, but now no more...

I am having the same issue with 0.12.0

Any news on this? It's getting a bit tedious having to switch back and forth between xorg and wayland...

As a temporary fix, this can be circumvented by building glfw with the cmake flag DGLFW_BUILD_WAYLAND=OFF.

To do this on Arch Linux when installing the glfw-git version from AUR, edit PKGBUILD and set DGLFW_BUILD_WAYLAND from ON to OFF in Line 44 (currently).

Just getting back into oF now after a bit of a pause, and your solution works!!!! Thank you so much :-) Let's hope it doesn't break something else on my system....

Thanks for sharing this temporary workaround!
Added this to our release checklist. #7588

I am guessing the changes needed for ofAppGLFWWindow won't be huge, as most of our calls are GLFW calls, so I would assume there might be just a few assumptions we might need to address to make it work for both.

Fixed with Linux merge @ofTheo ! I'm just cleaning up cross compilers today

Does this mean I can download the nightly build soon and (hopefully) everything will work?

[danoli3]

Yes that is correct!

Just finishing up this arm64 (aarch64) slice for ubuntu

[kflak]

Fantastic! Thanks :-)

@danoli3 for me a project compiled with your linux2025 branch still fails with

[ error ] ofAppGLFWWindow: 65548: Wayland: The platform does not support setting the window position
[ error ] ofAppGLFWWindow: 65550: X11: Platform not initialized
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
