Enough said.

What program are you testing with? Can you test with one of the Weston example clients?

Zeng-Zer commented 5 years ago

Same for me, nothing happens, green screen even though the compositor outputs in the terminal:

bind: compositor
bind: wl_shell
bind: seat

Tested with wayland-compositor and wayland-input from the tutorials

With weston-simple-egl:

has EGL_EXT_buffer_age and EGL_EXT_swap_buffers_with_damage
weston-simple-egl: clients/simple-egl.c:439: create_surfaceed.
[1]    11354 abort (core dumped)  weston-simple-egl

The weston examples currently require the unstable v6 version of the xdg-shell protocol but my compositor only implements an older version of that protocol. A year ago the stable version of the xdg-shell protocol was released and I wanted to update my compositor to that version but I decided to wait until the weston examples were updated to the stable version as well (there's a pull request here) so I could test my compositor against them. So right now my plan is to wait until that pull request is merged and a new version of weston is released and then update the compositor to that version. Implementing the unstable v6 version of xdg-shell doesn't make sense to me now since I will eventually need to update to the stable version anyway.

Hi. Can you please fix the issue?

twaik commented 5 years ago

I have adapted your code for my purposes but it behaves a bit wrong. Can you please help me?

Unfortunately Debian and Ubuntu are still on version 5.0 of Weston and I need version 6.0 to fix this bug. Right now I don't want to install a different disitribution just to fix this bug.

You do not need to install another distribution to update weston. You can build it on your pc.

But that's almost as much effort as installing another distribution. Also I don't like to install things from source because it's hard to completely remove them afterwards.

"ninja install" for install and "ninja uninstall" for remove?
