SDL_CreateRenderer cannot find a matching driver to create a renderer - c

Question

Here is a simple code to control the movement a rectangle on the screen.
The platform is Windows 10 and mingw32 is used to compile the code.
The follwing cmake script is used to build the code.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
project(main C)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)
add_executable(main main.c)
target_link_libraries(main mingw32 SDL2main SDL2)
When ran the following output is generated.
Error in create_renderer Couldn't find matching render driver
Process finished with exit code 1
And the code is as follows.
// #define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
void init() {
int error = SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
if (error){
printf("Error in init: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
SDL_Quit();
exit(1);
}
}
SDL_Window* create_window(SDL_Point size, const char* title) {
SDL_Window *window = SDL_CreateWindow(title, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, size.x, size.y, SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL);
if (window == NULL) {
printf("Error in create_window %s\n", SDL_GetError());
SDL_Quit();
exit(1);
}
return window;
}
SDL_Renderer* create_renderer(SDL_Window *window, SDL_Point size) {
SDL_Renderer *renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_SOFTWARE | SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED);
if (renderer == NULL) {
printf("Error in create_renderer %s\n", SDL_GetError());
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
exit(1);
}
SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize(renderer, size.x, size.y);
return renderer;
}
void clean_up(SDL_Renderer *renderer, SDL_Window *window) {
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
init();
SDL_Window *window;
SDL_Point window_size = {1280, 720};
window = create_window(window_size, "Window");
SDL_Renderer *renderer;
renderer = create_renderer(window, window_size);
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0, 255, 0, 255);
SDL_Rect player = {100, 100, 20, 20};
int should_exit = 0;
while (!should_exit) {
SDL_Event event;
while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) {
should_exit = 1;
clean_up(renderer, window);
}
else if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN) {
switch (event.key.keysym.sym) {
case SDLK_RIGHT:
player.x++;
break;
case SDLK_LEFT:
player.x--;
break;
case SDLK_DOWN:
player.y++;
break;
case SDLK_UP:
player.y--;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
SDL_RenderClear(renderer);
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0, 0, 255, 255);
SDL_RenderFillRect(renderer, &player);
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0, 255, 0, 255);
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
}
return 0;
}
I searched for duplicate questions and their solution was to update the graphics driver and check that the corresponding subsystems are initialized before calling SDL_CreateRenderer.
I have the latest nvidia drivers installed to no avail, and as you can see the initialization order is correct. Can you guide me as to find the reason why?
