I get the exact same error with revery-quick-start on Ubuntu 20.04.
Usually, this is due to not having the X11 headers / libraries installed prior to building esy-sdl2
- the CheckX11
check in the ./configure
script fails: https://github.com/revery-ui/esy-sdl2/blob/1cd3d4ffd9220b02fe6c27a08c8e4e2283dfee20/configure.ac#L1602 - and so there is no video device baked into the build of SDL.
You can fix it by the following:
xorg-dev
package to get all the X11 libraries / development headersrm -rf ~/.esy
git clean -dxf
in the project directory, ie: ~/revery-quick-start
, ~/oni2
, etc. (WARNING: this will remove any unsaved changes)esy install
& esy build
Unfortunately most of the dependencies will have to rebuild, because this necessitates rebuilding SDL2 to get the proper headers / enable X11 video, which is a pretty core dependency.
Installing xorg-dev, clearing the esy cache and rebuilding the project worked for me!
That worked perfectly, thank you!
