I did:

mkdir glmakie
cd glmakie
julia --project="."

and then in Julia

using Pkg
Pkg.add("GLMakie")

This results in the following error:

julia> err

The following workaround fixes the issue:

Add the following lines to Project.toml:

[deps]
GLFW_jll = "0656b61e-2033-5cc2-a64a-77c0f6c09b89"

[compat]
GLFW_jll = "=3.3.9"

[PhyX-Meow]

Same issue here, seem that glfw 3.4.0 cause the problem.

[SimonDanisch]

Duplicate of #3997

[ufechner7]

@SimonDanisch Please re-open this issue. It is NOT Mac OS related and cannot be fixed by changing code that is Mac OS only.

[SimonDanisch]

Oh sorry, you're right...

[SimonDanisch]

This should have fixed it: JuliaGL/GLFW.jl#238

[ufechner7]

Please, reopen this issue. It is NOT fixed by JuliaGL/GLFW.jl#238 .

[SimonDanisch]

Did the error message change?

[cyanescent]

Strange, I got the exact same error message, also on Linux (arch-based), slightly older AMD with iGPU, official julia build, but JuliaGL/GLFW.jl#238 did solve the bug, after removing the suggested workaround in Project.toml and updating.

[ufechner7]

I have to correct myself, the issue seams to be fixed when using the latest version of GLFW. Sorry for the noise.
