Re: More problems building xserver

2013-03-04 Thread Fred Ollinger
If you have the binary packages, this is obviously quicker, but I
found that the easiest thing to do is to google the name plus "source
code" and I usually found the source.

I stuff all the deps into /opt/wayland which wound up (for most
packages) to be quicker than tracking down the right vers of pre-build
binaries.

Re: Weston SDK

2013-02-15 Thread Fred Ollinger
Why not have an external api which does not change?

Surely there is functionality that plugin authors will want which will
not change?

I know that one objection is that there's the question of who is going
to maintain the glue b/w the external and internal. Perhaps we can
leave that to the plugin authors...

Sincrerely,

Fred

qt5 waylnd support

2012-12-16 Thread Fred Ollinger
I have compiled wayland from git as well as qt5 under LFS 7.2 using
the instructions from LFS to get the dependencies installed (into
/opt/wayland) as well as the wayland and qt5 from git instructions
respectively.

I have a working weston system and I can run the demos for qt5, but
the menus do not work. The cursor (pointer) never changes from a stop
watch.

The applications are a mix of usable and not.

Here's some debug spew:

Qml debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment!
Using Wayland-EGL
This plugin does not support propagateSizeHints()
This plugin does not support raise()
This plugin does not support raise()
This plugin does not support grabbing the keyboard
This plugin does not support raise()

Any ideas on how to get the last mile done, the menus working and so on.

Any info you need to help with this?

I'm willing to make changes on my system for better testing.

Sincerely,
Fred Ollinger
