stuck at splash etc.

[ghost]

Installed the AUR package (not the git version as it can't be compiled) on Manjaro (Fluxbox/LXQt without any gtk and with qtwayland).

1. Can't go further than splash.
2. No config file created.
3. Empty session file.
4. No man page anywhere or a default config and session files to be copied.

Can you create another issue about the build fail and paste the error?

About this, are you on a multiscreen setup?

[ghost]

Single screen.

[giucam]

Can you paste the console output?

[giucam]

I'd need a backtrace to try to understand what is going on. But please first try to get the version from git, it should be easy to build weston.

[giucam]

Ah right, i forgot there has been a change in weston recently that makes it incompatible. If you build weston at the revision cfff3122046b346f0b47b6f7dfbbdf62352cfe61 it should work.

[ghost]

Please excuse me, but there's no AUR package like that!! Thanks for your concern and work.

[giucam]

Of course, you'd have to clone weston's git repo and checkout that revision, then build it.

[giucam]

I've updated the code, now you can use directly weston git.

[ghost]

Yes, it's worked! Thank you. Looks brilliant; I'll look around a bit!
