libdecor-gtk-WARNING: Failed to initialize GTK. Occurs when using glfwinit

Question

I have a testing project set up for bgfx, which I was trying to learn. Problem is, i can't get GLFW to initialize properly.

The code snippet currently existing is this:

#include <bgfx/bgfx.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
#include <iostream>

#define WINDOW_WIDTH 1920
#define WINDOW_HEIGHT 1080

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    std::cout << "Initializing GLFW\n";
    glfwInit();

    std::cout << "Creating window\n";
    GLFWwindow *window = glfwCreateWindow(WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, "Hello World", NULL, NULL);

    std::cout << "Initializing bgfx\n";
    bgfx::init();

    std::cout << "Exiting" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

The console execution is this:

cmake . && make && valgrind --leak-check=full --log-file="yay.log" ./BGFX_Testing

Notes: If needed i can provide the CMakeList.txt and the valgrind yay.log (1055) The only question I have found with a similar issue is this, which has no verified answer, one answer that seems useful, which didn't change my problem.

OS Info: Kernel: 6.6.34-1-MANJARO CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (16) @ 3.400GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX6700XT

I'd appreciate any (reasonable) Idea on what i could do to solve this issue. Thanks.

Things I have tried already:

1. Checking libdecor installation

   sudo pacman -S libdecor

2. Checking libdecor dependencies

   ldd /usr/lib/libdecor-gtk.so (all installed)

3. Installing GLFW-X11 and -Wayland (Each alone or both at once, didn't change the issue)

   sudo pacman -S glfw-x11 sudo pacman -S glfw-wayland

4. Sleeping over it

Answer 1

why do you use cmake and building like from console not by mouse clicking? could you try Rider or other IDE, where you can see compiler arguments, probably there is an absent about linked libs, check there example of such lib arguments, they must be present in output. smth like '-l lfilename.so'

Link .so file to .cpp file via g++ compiling
