Fails to run on Mac SDL2 dependency and OpenGL

[topcheese]

I forgot the exact command, but I think it's -glcore33 or something like it that I have to add in order to use any Sokol related libraries. I'm using an older Mac from 2011, so you may not want to support it. I also had to do a "brew install pkg-config sdl2" for the first error.

Here is the last error. Assertion failed: (desc->context.metal.device), function _sg_mtl_setup_backend, file sokol_gfx.h, line 10752.

Edit: It does run with the proper command. v -d darwin_sokol_glcore33

Yes macOS is not very well tested yet. My own mac is very old and I do not have access to other hardware so mac development is slow.

Linux, Windows and Android is what I have the best access to currently so development is leaning towards those platforms. I know that all dependencies should work under mac, including using metal for rendering - it just needs time

Yes my MBP is from and 2011, so anything above that should support metal. I'll keep this mind when testing your framework. Thanks for the response and your work!

I've just commited dbfa590.

This makes it so you can do e.g. v run ~/.vmodules/shy/examples/image/image.v without specifying any -d flags, and thus use OpenGL core 3.3 on macOS per default.

I think for now it is best to to make metal opt-in via -d metal. Please note that I haven't had time to actually implement proper Metal support. But it is on my (long) TODO list :sweat_smile:

Running my test project puzzle_vibes works and isn't too demanding:
