Hi everyone. I have a cross-platform game I’m working on which I’d like to use ANGLE in both Windows and OSX (it’s main targets are native GLES2 on Raspberry Pi and iPhone though).
I’ve had no problem building and running the ANGLE libraries, samples and tests on both Windows and MacOS. However I’m getting (null) as a result from GL queries of GL_RENDERER, GL_VENDOR etc. on Mac in the SDL application.
Sadly, I’m not getting any errors from SDL_Error() to suggest anything is reported as wrong in SDL’s startup. Given the ANGLE samples run fine on MacOS, and don’t use SDL2, I’m guessing it’s something SDL-related?
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_EVENTS) < 0) {
nda::Err();
}
else {
#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(MACOSX)
SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_OPENGL_ES_DRIVER, “1”); // Force SDL to use ANGLE for it’s OpenGLES2 implementation
#endifSDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_EGL, 1); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, 2); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, 0); SDL_SetEventFilter(HandleAppEvents, NULL); Uint32 windowFlags = SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL | SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS;#if defined(IPHONEOS)
windowFlags |= SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN | SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI;
#endif#if defined(NDEBUG) && ( defined(_WIN32) || defined(MACOSX) )
windowFlags |= SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP;
#endifgWindow.reset(SDL_CreateWindow("Game", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 1024, 512, windowFlags)); if (!gWindow) { nda::Err(); } else { gRenderer.reset(SDL_CreateRenderer(gWindow.get(), -1, SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC)); if (gRenderer) { context = SDL_GL_CreateContext(gWindow.get()); // context seems to be valid here on OSX?

This is by no means an urgent issue. 
Plenty of options for just using GLEW and a compatibility profile, but would certainly appreciate any help from someone who is currently using ANGLE on OSX.
