"Shown on the remote computer(DISPLAY*:0)" has no effect

[ItalianSC]

Hi,

I’m developing a video play program for RaspberryPi4 on Windows platform using VS+VisualGDB,and I’m using SDL2 to play video,I wanted the video play window to be created on RPi host,so I choose the “Shown on the remote computer(DISPLAY*:0)” option in “Debug Settings” page,but I found the option has no effect,when I start my program from VisualGDB,the Window created by SDL_CreateWindow() API is on my Windows host,but I want it to be on remote RPi host, so why the option has no effect? Did I miss any configuration on RPi?

Hi,

This looks like a RaspberryPi issue and not something specific to VisualGDB. Please consider asking on the Raspberry Pi forums instead.

If the library you are using requires a different environment variable, please let us know more details and we will help you configure VisualGDB to set it.

Yes,if I start my program from some ssh client tool(e.g. putty), I must set “DISPLAY” environment variable to “:0.0”,if it is not set,the window will be created on Windows mathine;

No problem, we can point out a setting that will allow replicating this behavior, however we would kindly ask you to confirm your support status first.

Hi,

Thanks your reply, but I had solved the problem myself,I add the environment variable “DISPLAY=:0.0” in the debug settings page,then the display window can be created on the rpi host.
