@goflutterjava please can you recheck using OrbTk's development branch? This will be tagged as "0.3.1-alpha4" soon.

[goflutterjava]

@rzerres When I use the development branch, it raises another error.

[rzerres]

did you go with a

cargo clean
cargo update

it is working for me on x64_86 architecture. Sorry, can't test on OSX.
You may also make use of the bundled feature, as described in the README.md.
I copied you code to orbtk/examples/dev_tools.rs

use orbtk::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    Application::new()
        .window(|ctx| {
            Window::new()
                .title("Dev Tools")
                .position((100.0, 100.0))
                .size(1200.0, 800.0)
                .child(TextBlock::new().text("Dev Tools").build(ctx))
                .build(ctx)
        })
        .run();
}

then called:

cargo run  --features bundled --example dev_tools

[goflutterjava]

I have run

cargo clean
cargo update

it now raise

cargo run --features bundled main.rs
error: none of the selected packages contains these features: bundled

and this is my toml

[package]
name = "dev-tools-rust-orbtk"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[dependencies]
#orbtk = "0.3.1-alpha4"
orbtk = { git = "https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk.git", branch = "develop"}

Please take a look when you have time, thanks

@goflutterjava
Well, i guess the documentation is a bit misleading here.
The feature flags will be available, if you clone the OrbTk repro and create code in this repostitory. Feature flag "--features bundled" will help to download and build the dependency to sdl2. This is not needed, if you already have a target bound sdl2 library (in your case the OSX build).

If you create your own crate, you are just including the dependency to orbtk. Thus, it will build these crates with the default flags. And here OrbTk will not call the "bundled" feature as a default.

To get that strait

• your dev-tools-rust-orbtk toml is all fine

• inside its crate root just call

  cargo run
  

  This will

  • download all defined dependencies

  in this case OrbTK develop branch, ala orbtk-0.3.1.0alpha5, which in turn will require all its dependencies ...

  • complile src/main.rs in debug mode
    since this is the default target and the default source when compiling rust code.

  • will run the compiled and linked executable
    which will be called dev-tools-rust-orbtk, as defined in the toml file.

I just copied the minimal.rs code from orbtk/orbtk/example as src/main.rs to your crate (your code is fine as well). And as expected, i get the rendered window. I can't crosscompile for OSX, sorry.
