haikuports: VVVVVV: No longer starting on nightlies
While attempting to update the VVVVVV package to 2.3.6 from 2.3.1, the game doesn’t display a window when run anymore. Nothing appears in the terminal nor in Debugger, though I am not experienced with using the latter. Initially suspecting a breakage between 2.2.1 and 2.2.6, I tested every stable version in between with the same results. Then i tried running the game from the version in HaikuDepot, to no avail. It means that the issue could be elsewhere, possibly in the deps or in Haiku itself.
Should be noted that this was on x86_64. x86 uses 2.0 instead, the last known version of VVVVVV to work on that architecture.

Try with the kernel debugger. It will show which mutex the SDLApplication thread wait on. Then you can check the current owner of the mutex. Looks like the runtime loader lock
EDIT: it seems the interface kit tries to load a control look addon.
