SDL : cannot create window

[DeliciousBeanSauce]

Hi,

I have followed the tutorial and even copy pasted the code to main.rs. Either way I end up with this error SDL : cannot create window The error comes as soon as i use blit function. put_char works fine.

Greetings @DeliciousBeanSauce!

It's really hard to tell how to fix this with the information provided.

Would you please try/answer (in as much detail as you can) the following?

• Which platform (linux, windows, macos) and what version are you testing this on?
• Did you install SDL2? How did you install it?
• What version of tcod-rs are you using?
• Have you tried the latest version from git? (add tcod = { git = "https://github.com/tomassedovic/tcod-rs" } under [dependencies] in your Cargo.toml)
• Can you clone the tcod-rs repository and run the examples? Like so:

$ git clone https://github.com/tomassedovic/tcod-rs
$ cd tcod-rs
$ cargo run --example keyboard
$ cargo run --example samples

Unfortunately, this repository is no longer maintained and I can't promise that myself or anyone else will be able to help you.

Thank You for the quick reply! I am using Linux. I initially had issues with installing libsdl2-dev so I followed libsdl.org guide

hg clone https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL SDL
cd SDL
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
sudo make install

After that i could install libsdl2-dev

I am using 0.15.0 version of tcod-rs

I cannot run either of those examples.

24 bits font.
key color : 0 0 0
24bits greyscale font. converting to 32bits
libtcod 1.6.3
SDL : cannot create window

Fixed, downloaded and compiled the latest 2.0.14 version and it works now. Renders the screen perfectly, as do the examples.
