Window disappears after bgfx::init()

[FlightBlaze]

Hi! I made a minimal BGFX project that creates a window and should render purple color

What's the problem:

After bgfx::init() the GLFW window magically disappears.

Without bgfx::init() the window is displayed normally.

Steps to reproduce on Mac:

1. git clone https://github.com/FlightBlaze/MyProject-BGFX
2. cd MyProject-BGFX
3. git submodule update --init --recursive
4. Build bgfx
5. Build and run MyProject

Hardware and software:
MacBook Air on M1 chip
Visual Studio Code with CMake Tools extension
Clang 13.0

I see from the output that bgfx is running in multi-threaded mode, but you seem to be forcing bgfx to be single-threaded. Have you tried calling bgfx::renderFrame();. This information as to why this call needs to be made before bgfx::initcan be found here

Now the window is created and shows a purple screen for a second. After that, just black screen. What did I wrong?

I'm not 100% sure if it matters, but have you tried calling setViewRect before setViewClear? At least to me it sounds a bit weird that you're trying to clear the view before setting the dimensions of the view

I tried to set the dimensions of the view before clearing it. The result is the same

The problem was GLFW. I replaced it with SDL, and now bgfx works just fine on my Mac!
