Mac OS 13.1: libSystem.dylib not found

[rongcuid]

Version

3.3.1

Platform

macOS arm64

JDK

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM v17.0.4.1+1-LTS-2 by Oracle Corporation

Module

LWJGL Core

Bug description

I try to do a simple LWJGL project, but on glfwInit I get the following error. It seems related to MacOS dynamic library. I will try to provide a minimal example if needed, but I think just calling glfwInit() suffices.

Stacktrace or crash log output

The crash is unrelated (me forgetting to set -XstartOnFirstThread), but the warning/error is still there

Hey @rongcuid,

The LWJGL shared library loading mechanism is working as expected here, the message is confirming that LWJGL first looked in org.lwjgl.librarypath before trying the system paths. It's useful when troubleshooting library loading issues.

Oh, I thought it was an error
