"bundled" feature compiles on Linux but resulting executable does not show window

[pozix604]

On Debian 12, without libsdl2-dev installed, I have the following project. I compile with cargo b -vv (build.log) which succeeds, but when running the executable, nothing shows. Same if I add the static-link feature.

Cargo.toml:

[package]
name = "tsdl2"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
sdl2 = { version = "0.37.0", features = ["bundled"] }

main.rs:

use sdl2::pixels::Color;
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() -> Result<(), String> {
    let window = sdl2::init()?
        .video()?
        .window("SDL Window", 256, 256)
        .position_centered()
        .opengl()
        .build()
        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;

    let mut renderer = window.into_canvas().build().map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
    renderer.set_draw_color(Color::RGB(0, 255, 128));
    renderer.clear();
    renderer.present();

    sleep(Duration::new(2, 0));
    Ok(())
}

Removing the bundled feature, then sudo apt install libsdl2-dev, recompiling and re-runing works as expected.

What are the logs when running from the command line? Surely there must be some kind of error if it cannot show the window.

No errors, warnings or other information shown.

I have the same issue. No window is made, and nothing is printed to the console. It works fine on macOS and Windows, but on linux the bundled feature transparently fails. I got the above sample working by installing the SDL2-devel package and disabling the bundled feature, as per pozix's original comment.
openSUSE Tumbleweed, Plasma 6 on Wayland, rustc 1.84.0, sdl2 crate 0.37.0

Maybe try using log::set_output_function and show everything in trace to see where the issue might come from? At this point we can only guess without logs.
