How to build Weston, the Wayland compositor on LFS-Systemd 20130215 libffi-3.0.11 - blfs
xkeyboard-config-2.8 - ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-xkb-rules-symlink=xorg --disable-runtime-deps libxkbcommon-0.2.0 - ./configure --prefix=/usr mtdev-1.1.3 - blfs libjpeg-8d - ijg libjpeg - ./configure --prefix=/usr (libjpeg-turbo from blfs can be used too, but it needs nasm) libpng-1.5.14 - blfs pixman-0.28.2 - blfs freetype-2.4.11 - blfs fontconfig-2.10.2 - blfs cairo-1.12.14 - ./configure --prefix=/usr libpciaccess-0.13.1 - ./configure --prefix=/usr libdrm-2.4.42 - sed "/pthread-stubs/d" -i configure.ac ; autoreconf -fi ; ./configure --prefix=/usr wayland git - ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-documentation weston git - ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/weston --disable-egl --disable-xwayland --disable-xwayland-test --disable-x11-compositor --disable-weston-launch CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libdrm" LDFLAGS="-ldrm" WESTON_NATIVE_BACKEND=fbdev-backend.so dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33 - mkdir -pv /usr/share/fonts ; mv ttf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu ; fc-cache /usr/share/fonts/dejavu as root # install -dm700 /tmp/wayland # export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/wayland run weston as root: # weston Currently only works as root because weston-launch helper that allows weston to run as normal user needs Linux-PAM.

Freetype, Fontconfig and Dejavu fonts can be ommited, but you will get ugly fonts. My guess is that it can be built on standard LFS, too. It would need Expat, XML::Parser and Intltool from what I know. Why? Useful for people who build their software in VT but don't really like it (like me). Terminal is really nice in Weston. There are some demos in clients directory in weston source. It's definitely smaller than Xorg, requires more or less the same deps (well, maybe minus libffi and mtdev in some cases + Cairo (which is essential in modern X software)). It needs a fbdev driver - be it drmfb or whatever. drmfb drivers are provided by KMS drivers (i915, nouveau, radeon and vmwgfx). I've tested it with vmwgfx - VMware Virtual Graphics Driver. I built LFS Systemd in a VM. If you are going for X, you might need to rebuild Cairo later. What else?
