Hi,

I built and installed glfw 3.1.1 with my custom toolchain. And when I try to run any of the tests, the program crashes in glfwInit(). Upon debugging, I saw that the return value of the function call XkbGetKeyboard() is NULL in function createKeyTables();

XkbGetKeyboard(_glfw.x11.display,XkbAllComponentsMask,XkbUseCoreKbd);

Can anyone know what could be the problem ?

Thanks

I saw this : https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/389
this post has been mentioned there but strangely no replies here.
