difficulties on macos, arm64 about glfw-ocaml HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

The error you are getting is actually about a missing stub for the external function glClearColorBufferBit which is implemented in the window_stubs.c file. You should copy that file too and append window_stubs.c -cclib -lGL to your ocamlfind command line.

Alternatively the dune file present in that example folder shows how to create a window_stubs library from the C file and link it with an executable.

Ah, thank you.

to understand the role of window_stubs.c in the example ... is that just to avoid depending on some ocaml opengl library?

so if e.g. I used lablgl I would not need an extra .c file?

...and indeed, if I comment out the glClearColorBufferBit parts then I can compile the window.ml as I was trying before

and a window opens and works perfectly 👍

thanks again!

Exactly.

You're welcome. ;)
