Yeah I was the user who gave this feedback originally. I think the bug should still be open because I can't yet find adequate documentation that clearly states things like:
bin/mir is a server. You need this to display the output of clients (apps).
bin/render* are also servers (for testing only). They do not use the primary server bin/mir
bin/mir_whatever are mostly clients. You need a server running before these will work.
Basic stuff like that.
Although I suggest more consistency in the naming of all our examples' binaries would go a long way to making things more clear.
