No monitors found

Hopefully this is the right forum to post this.

So I have a basic setup here. Not sure if I’m suppose to specify which monitor I’m creating a window or something? Though I don’t even get to creating a window. Here’s my code so far…

#include <iostream>

#include "glfw3.h"

void
error_callback(int error, const char* description)
{
   puts(description);
}

int
main()
{
   glfwSetErrorCallback(error_callback);

   if(!glfwInit())
   {
      std::cout << "ERROR: GLFW failed to Initialize" << std::endl;
      //TODO: Logging
      return -1;
   }

   char *WindowTitle = "Hello World";
   GLFWwindow* Window = glfwCreateWindow(960, 540, WindowTitle, NULL, NULL);

   if(!Window)
   {
      glfwTerminate();
      //TODO: Logging
      return -1;
   }

   //TODO: Running loop

   //NOTE: Yay
   std::cout << "Window Created successfully" << std::endl;
   glfwTerminate();

   system("pause");

   return 0;
}

However, glfwInit returns false, prints out ERROR: GLFW failed to initialize (because I told it to when failing of course) and set it to exit with int -1 per the basic setup guide diddly.

I have two monitors, one isn’t 1920x1080 but I’m not sure exactly what the problem is. I’m using an AMD graphics card and AMD processor.

Does the error callback print anything?

I believe that’s the thing printing out “no monitors found”. Because I don’t have anything else that would print that.

(Just tested it, when I delete the callback it doesn’t say the no monitors found)

What version of what OS are you running? Is it running in a VM?

Negative, Windows 8.1. And no it isn’t pirated.

Wouldn’t matter if it was.

Please file an issue.
