GLFW first responder error

Question

I am trying to create a simple GLFW window and a succeed but xcode gives me an error:

2016-12-14 10:16:40.412191 CREngine[830:21929] [General] ERROR: Setting <GLFWContentView: 0x100369850> as the first responder for window <GLFWWindow: 0x10033ea00>, but it is in a different window ((null))! This would eventually crash when the view is freed. The first responder will be set to nil.

)
Program ended with exit code: 0

The code I used is:

#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

int main(void)
{
    GLFWwindow* window;

    /* Initialize the library */
    if (!glfwInit())
        return -1;

    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 2);
    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE);
    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);

    /* Create a windowed mode window and its OpenGL context */
    window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Hello World", NULL, NULL);
    if (!window)
    {
        glfwTerminate();
        return -1;
    }

    /* Make the window's context current */
    glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);

    /* Loop until the user closes the window */
    while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
    {
        /* Render here */
        glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

        /* Swap front and back buffers */
        glfwSwapBuffers(window);

        /* Poll for and process events */
        glfwPollEvents();
    }

    glfwTerminate();
    return 0;
}

The part that is confusing me is from what I have looked up is that including the hints that I have will allow it to work on mac but for some reason I am stilling getting the errors so I was hoping that someone could help me solve this error.

Answer 1

This seems to indicate that this is a known bug in macOS Sierra, and looking at the git-repo it seems to be fixed. However, it does not look like the (currently) latest version on their webpage has been updated.

If you have installed GLFW from their website, I recommend pulling the code from git and compiling it locally.

(Edit: see this for some helpful details about building the .dylib file from the source.)
