Configure ny to run with x11 backend?

[jb55]

When I try to compile with/without wayland it doesn't configure x11 backend, any idea how to do that? When I configure with wayland libs it doesn't show the warning but still fails at runtime with the message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  ny::Backend: no backend available
zsh: abort      ./build/example/example

You need the xcb-ewmh and xcb-icccm libraries for the x11 backend (see the meson log). I will write an example for glfw as well soon, glfw has fewer dependencies iirc.

[nyorain]

I quickly ported the example to glfw in 6103fcf. Just pull it from master, run meson configure -Dexample-glfw=true in your build directory and then you should be able to run it (call ./example/example_glfw in the builddir, that's where it expects to be called). Make sure you have the x11 glfw package with vulkan support installed.

that works! thanks!

glad to hear! Will close both issues then. Please let me know any ideas to improve the library or make its usage/building easier.
