Would Meson’s dependency wrapping capabilities be a viable solution here? I think that most of Weston’s dependencies that have aggressive version requirements are themselves also Meson projects.
The Weston CI configuration builds a bunch of its dependencies (Mesa, libdrm, libwayland …) manually. I wonder why Meson wrapping was not used for this? -Matt From: Hoosier, Matt <matt.hoos...@garmin.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 5, 2024 7:44 AM To: Daniel Stone <dan...@fooishbar.org>; Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paala...@collabora.com> Cc: s...@cmpwn.com; cont...@emersion.fr; Marius Vlad <marius.v...@collabora.com>; wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Subject: Re: Ways to test Weston during development (Re: Full-motion zero-copy screen capture in Weston) Thanks, everybody. After some trial and error, I find that if I install seatd in the host and the seatd dev package in the Toolbox container and I then symlink the host seatd socket into /tmp on the container, Weston seems to start up okay on my physical KMS connectors: user@host:~$ toolbox enter … user@toolbox:~$ sudo ln -s /run/host/run/seatd.socket /run/ user@toolbox:~$ weston --backend=drm -Matt From: Daniel Stone <dan...@fooishbar.org<mailto:dan...@fooishbar.org>> Date: Wednesday, June 5, 2024 at 5:07 AM To: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paala...@collabora.com<mailto:pekka.paala...@collabora.com>> Cc: "Hoosier, Matt" <matt.hoos...@garmin.com<mailto:matt.hoos...@garmin.com>>, "s...@cmpwn.com<mailto:s...@cmpwn.com>" <s...@cmpwn.com<mailto:s...@cmpwn.com>>, "cont...@emersion.fr<mailto:cont...@emersion.fr>" <cont...@emersion.fr<mailto:cont...@emersion.fr>>, Marius Vlad <marius.v...@collabora.com<mailto:marius.v...@collabora.com>>, "wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org<mailto:wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org>" <wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org<mailto:wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org>> Subject: Re: Ways to test Weston during development (Re: Full-motion zero-copy screen capture in Weston) Hi, On Wed, 5 Jun 2024 at 09: 09, Pekka Paalanen <pekka. paalanen@ collabora. com> wrote: > On Tue, 4 Jun 2024 20: 33: 48 +0000 > "Hoosier, Matt" <Matt.

Yes, doing it in containers is a little bit tricky since it's not exactly the design case. Honestly, on my Silverblue systems, I just install a bunch of relevant dependencies into the system image with rpm-ostree, and have a pile of self-built dependencies in a local prefix. This might give you some insight however: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/992__;!!EJc4YC3iFmQ!X9PIq-FMYhremNjhMhD6uGHUdYcYt4QKcl5CIjQAi0gYX5IyFx63gK1QZDWepwQBxB3mu1WTvjK21Tr-34M$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/992__;!!EJc4YC3iFmQ!X9PIq-FMYhremNjhMhD6uGHUdYcYt4QKcl5CIjQAi0gYX5IyFx63gK1QZDWepwQBxB3mu1WTvjK21Tr-34M$> It probably needs some minor changes in Weston but does at least seem doable ...
