Description

This warning arises on non armv7l and other non-raspberry pi systems.

https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/master/libs/openFrameworks/app/ofAppEGLWindow.cpp#L403

https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/master/libs/openFrameworks/app/ofAppEGLWindow.cpp#L413

Should be (I think) as EGLNativeWindowType is type long unsigned int:

return (EGLNativeWindowType)0;
