65544: Wayland: Failed to connect to display

[zeeshan595]

Hello, I am running into a really weird issue on linux(Ubuntu) with GLFW.
When I use glfwInit() it fails and says 65544: Wayland: Failed to connect to display
Then I tried using wl_display_connect (wayland-client.h) and it also returned NULL.
Not sure what is going on but when i check in the terminal wayland is working properly.
I might be doing something stupid here but can you please see what could be the issue?

I got the same error when my app doesn't find the right libglfw.so
I have version 3.2 installed system-wide and got the same error as you with it.
Putting libglfw.so.3.1 in the library search path fixes the issue.
Of course, the path order should precedes system's one.
In my case, I set the RPATH to $ORIGIN/lib and put libglfw.so.3.1 in the lib folder.

Closing this, as neither of these issues seem to be bugs in GLFW.

Based on this reddit post I managed to fix this, installing the glfw-x11 package. Hope it helps.

I tried using xorg session and it worked for me somehow
