emulator: WARNING: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, using software renderer

Question

What do these error messages mean from the Android emulator?

Starting emulator for AVD \'AVD\'
Failed to create Context 0x3005
could not get wglGetExtensions         


        

Answer 1

It means the linker could not find OpenglES libraries on your system. You could try installing those.

On Fedora, this seems to solve the problem:

> yum install mesa-libGLw.i686
