[CLOSED] 'Getting started' code crashes OSX10.11

[davidtriphon]

Hello, new user here.

I doubt this is a bug, but it is keeping me from using LWJGL at all, and I need support to try to fix it.

I properly inserted the LWJGL library into my eclipse environment (3.0.0b build 54) and pasted in the tutorial code from the getting started page. My compiler says everything is completely fine, but when I run it, it crashes.

Excerpt from Mac crash log: (full crash file attached)

Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes:       KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Console log inside eclipse compiler:

Hello LWJGL 3.0.0b build 54!

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

I'm running a Mac with OS X 10.11 installed, and since I've installed El Capitan, I've had other applications that use OpenGL crash with the exact same error note "EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY". However, I know there are other people with El Capitan installed that have not crashed in the same circumstance.

I am suspicious that a specific function caused the crash, and would not mind being told what to mess around with to figure out which function causes it to crash. If you are familiar with whatever this is and know a simple quick workaround, I am all ears. Especially since it might solve my other crashing problems.

You must launch the JVM with -XstartOnFirstThread. In build 3.0.0b #55 or later there is a new check for this situation that triggers an exception instead of the crash you're seeing.

Thank you! It took me a little bit to figure out how to do that in eclipse, but I got it working. I appreciate that you spent some time helping me when you probably had more important things to do. Wish me luck!
