Hello Marian, Looking at the forum discussion I guess you intend to run wayland/weston with drm backend on the Pi board. Correct me if I am wrong.
"Wayland" should straight away build for ARM as it has very minimal dependency and is hardware agnostic. "Weston" is the hardware related part of the wayland project. A wayland reference implementation of a compositor. So you would need a rendering backend that works for your board so as to be able to run Weston. Weston right now supports drm, X11, android and wayland itself as backends I seem to agree with *twolife* 's comment in the forum. If Pi doesn't provide DRM support then it wouldn't be possible to use weston's drm-backend. One will have to write a new backed for the Pi board. Is there a way to do GLES2 on the framebuffer directly? If there is a way, you could get Weston running without X by writing a new backend. You can follow Pekka's android back-end for understanding. With this though you can't run GL clients on Wayland, but you might be able to run a few simple clients like simple-shm, flower, dnd .. etc On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 12:18 PM, Marian Buschsieweke < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello everybody! > > I'm trying to compile wayland and weston on the raspberry pi.
