Can't really pinpoint what is going wrong in windowP = glfwCreateWindow(settings.getWidth(), settings.getHeight(), settings.title.c_str(), nullptr, sharedContext); but it segfaults in both stable and master. It was working a week ago.

Research direction

Start with the gdb backtrace and inspect the call to glfwCreateWindow at libs/openFrameworks/app/ofAppGLFWWindow.cpp:231, using the Debian buster environment described. Reproduce with the simple test app from apps/myApps/example/src/main.cpp:6 and compare stable and master; done means identifying and documenting a reproducible cause or confirmed fix for the window-creation segfault.
