1:http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html misses that building weston
will fail without a recent libwebp fromhttp://git.chromium.org/webm/libwebp.git.
I seem to be building it successfully without libwebp. More details?
An old version of libwebp (0.1.2-4.1.2) used by openSuSE 12.1 was found by
autogen.sh,
but that apparently is incompatible and breaks the build. So probably a version
check
needs to be added.
2.http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html misses that after building
weston
"make install" needs to be run as root.
When run as root, it will set weston-launch suid root. When not run as
root, it should still work, but not set weston-launch suid root.
Instructions for then setting it manually are on that page.
Yep. But a "make install" should not "work somehow but report failure".
That´s really unfriendly to scripted builds and quite unusual.
3. Weston needs an xcursor theme to be installed and accessible via
~/.icons/default/index.theme, otherwise no cursor will be visible. That
probably also should be mentioned inhttp://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html
as a lot of people don´t have it on their system.
Thanks. Do you have details of how best to do that? (I apparently had one
installed already.) What distro are you using that doesn't install one?
See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1136279.
Probably it would be a good idea to provide default cursor shapes.
4. After solving problems 1-3, weston and the weston demo clients like gears
worked fine if weston was started as an X client. Without X weston started as
a normal user blocked keyboard and mouse, so a power button reboot or killing
weston via ssh was necessary. Weston without started as root worked fine.
Sounds like you were running weston directly, outside of X (using the
DRM backend) instead of using weston-launch (suid root)?
Yes, I used weston directly. According to the build instructions that should be
possible.
Probably a permission problem, I´ll have a closer look at it.

Knut
