Hi, Fabio!

Take look at my latest commit It now merged with latest master version and successfully compiles with ./configure --enable-spice-compositor. But unfortunately it doesn't work due to new spice API. I hope, this evening it will!.

Thanks for your work about it.
I make the new diff in other test branch:
https://github.com/Fantu/compositor-spice/tree/test2
And I have some questions:

- src/Makefile.am was removed in newer weston and now unused, I suppose

to be removed

- Makefile.am missed monitor renderer additions, must be added or monitor renderer is not

needed anymore?

- src/compositor-rdp.c: I suppose is not needed and not related changes

to be removed, right?

- src/spice/Makefile.am: I suppose is unused now that thing are added in

Makefile.am, to be removed, right?

Can be the monitor renderer missed/incomplete the cause of "run test" failed? About spice-server api I did't found good docs to make update simply and fast but with a fast search I found this xspice (similar project for xorg instead) commit that probably can be faster update some deprecrated spice functions: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl/commit/?id=70884bd353c34c0be23c2b21eec320cd8c637f4f

I don't have sufficent free time for try to change it and test build/use today. After update to newer api I suppose will be good add also a required spice-server version check in configure based on newer api, I found this that seems will make fast see at what version was added any api: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/tree/server/spice-server.syms

Another important note if you don't know it, spice-server recently is under heavy changes, latest version (0.13.0) is like a "devel snapshot". Latest stable version that I think is good to use also with this project for now is 0.12.6.

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.

Hi, long time ago I saw an interesting project for weston, the spice
compositor:
https://github.com/ein-shved/compositor-spice
It is now abandoned because the developer has been involved in another
project.
As no other has continued it, despite my low knowledge and time I would try
to update, test and possibly improve it.
Great!

I did a new branch with only 2 commit on top of latest upstream commit:
https://github.com/Fantu/compositor-spice/commits/test
and I tried to do a fast rebase on latest upstream commit (1.10) instead of
master (development branch) for decrease the risk regression on first
build/use tests:
https://github.com/Fantu/compositor-spice/commits/rebase/spice-1.10

Solving conflict about configure and makefile parts I have some doubts (as
also reported in the description of each commit):
About first commit (Add Spice compositor)
https://github.com/Fantu/compositor-spice/commit/f589ab264e80d43fa0853770481b6ddcadf5505b - in configure.ac some changes seems strange, including LIBS and CFLAGS that
seems "double"
I think this can be removed. Usually setting LIBS/CFLAGS and
foo_save_LIBS/foo_save_CFLAGS is used for an AC_CHECK_* call, which
relies on LIBS and CFLAGS already being set. I guess there may have
been a call here which has since been removed.

About the second commit (Monitor renderer)
https://github.com/Fantu/compositor-spice/commit/2632b8b8067e46ac69b5ad1bc2164d90ced5e19f - Makefile things seems fully changed, tried to adapt them but I'm not sure
if I did it correct.
- Add -g to AM_CPPFLAGS in Makefile.am is really needed? not added for now
No, this is a debugging feature only.

- add of "-Wl,--wrap=pixman_renderer_init" to LDFLAGS of many other backend is really needed? not added for now, if needed is good understand why to add
it also to new things added since this start commit done 3 years ago
This should be solved in a different way if required.

- src/compositor-rdp.c changes is really needed? if not I'll remove them

I also searched documentation about api and/or internal weston functions
changed any versions but I not found them.
There is no documentation on the change, no.

As you can see, several functions have changed:
   - weston_output_finish_frame now takes a struct timespec rather than
an integer number of milliseconds (trivial conversion)
   - the output repaint function now returns an integer marking success
or failure
   - the compositor interface has now changed to weston_backend, and
you can see examples of the changes required in commit 954f183e

Hope this helps: just pick out the warnings and errors one by one, and
try to figure them out - searching git commits for anything relevant
always helps - until you get something that builds.

Cheers,
Daniel
