%general-entities; ]> xwayland The Xwayland package is an Xorg server running on top of the wayland server. It has been separated from the main Xorg server package. It allows running X clients inside a wayland session. &lfs112_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &xwayland-md5sum; Download size: &xwayland-size; Estimated disk space required: &xwayland-buildsize; Estimated build time: &xwayland-time; Xwayland Dependencies Required , , , and (only font-util) Recommended , , and Optional (to download packages needed for the tests), , , , (only bdftopcf, for building fonts required for the tests), rendercheck (for tests), and weston (for tests) User Notes: Install xwayland by running the following commands: sed -i '/install_man/,$d' meson.build && mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX \ -Dxkb_output_dir=/var/lib/xkb \ .. && ninja Building the test framework needs some work. First, weston brings in several dependencies, but the number can be reduced by disabling unneeded features. The meson command for a stripped down build of weston is shown in Upstream continuous integration build. Running the tests involves downloading two other frameworks, in addition to the mentioned optional dependencies: mkdir tools && pushd tools && git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/piglit.git --depth 1 && cat > piglit/piglit.conf << EOF && [xts] path=$(pwd)/xts EOF git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/test/xts --depth 1 && export DISPLAY=:22 && ../hw/vfb/Xvfb $DISPLAY & VFB_PID=$! && cd xts && CFLAGS=-fcommon ./autogen.sh && make && kill $VFB_PID && unset DISPLAY VFB_PID && popd Then the tests can be run with: XTEST_DIR=$(pwd)/tools/xts PIGLIT_DIR=$(pwd)/tools/piglit ninja test Now, as the root user: ninja install && mkdir -pv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d && cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles << "EOF" /tmp/.X11-unix dir 1777 root root EOF ninja install && mkdir -pv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d If is not installed and you do not plan to install it later, you can install Xvfb from this package. As the &root; user: install -vm755 hw/vfb/Xvfb /usr/bin sed -i '/install_man/,$d' meson.build: Prevents installing a manual page for Xserver, which is not part of this package. mkdir -pv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d: This directory is needed to put configuration files for Xwayland. This command ensures that it exists, as some applications might use it without first creating it. cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles...: This command creates the /tmp/.X11-unix directory at startup, and ensures that the permissions and ownership are correct as required by applications using Xwayland.
