Sam Lantinga 92bf608527 Fixed bug 3616 - SDL_GL_CreateContext fails with SDL_GL_CONTEXT_DEBUG_FLAG and ANGLE/GLES 2.0
Colin Barrett

Using the pre-built x86 devel libs from here:
https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-devel-2.0.5-VC.zip

If I have:

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_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_FLAGS, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_DEBUG_FLAG);

and I'm using ANGLE/(a GL driver that doesn't provide an ES2 context) such that SDL_EGL_CreateContext is called by SDL_GL_CreateContext, I get the error "Could not create EGL context (context attributes are not supported)" and no context is created.

Looking at the code in SDL_EGL_CreateContext - if gl_config.flags is non-zero, it looks like the code in the section guarded with "#ifdef EGL_KHR_create_context" should be executed - but it apparently isn't.

Is it possible this section hasn't been compiled into the pre-built libraries? If I build SDL2.dll myself using the Visual C++ solution (VS2015 Community Update 3) then the call succeeds as I expect

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
and many Humble Bundle games.

More extensive documentation is available in the docs directory, starting
with README.md

Enjoy!
