Description
I access my Windows PC as a remote computer by using RDP. It seems that GLFW can not find monitor when I operate under RDP. Here is an issue about GLFW which may hit the core of this problem. By the way, the version I used is of 0.9.8 for Visual Studio.
[ error ] ofAppGLFWWindow: 65544: No monitors found
[ error ] ofAppGLFWWindow: couldn't init GLFW
[ error ] ofAppGLFWWindow: 65537: The GLFW library is not initialized
