Use Maynard on x64 Arch Linux

[hanzelpeter]

Hello.

I compiled maynard on x64 Arch Linux. I used make install and then when I use "maynard" command, it starts only normal weston.

The I tried to add "modules=shell-helper.so" to weston.ini but it also starts only default weston.

The I added "client=/usr/libexec/maynard". Then it starts maynard, but crashes after few seconds or mouse move.

I use last version from git. The gdb stack trace is not usefull. It is some null pointer in wl_list_remove.

What can I do to make it work?

[hanzelpeter]

I looked for all occurencies of wl_list_insert and wl_list_remove and commented this out in shell/shell-helper.c and then maynard will not crash, but the panel with applications will not show.

I don't know about wayland and purpose of wl_list_insert. So I am still lost where can be problem.

The problem was I was using stock Weston not the Weston from github/raspberry/weston. When I compiled this one, it worked.

compiling weston without "WESTON_SHELL_CLIENT=maynard"-option and using no weston.ini ...the default desktop-shell works without errors

[joukewitteveen]

With the current weston/gtk packages of Arch, Maynard starts nicely with the following in weston.ini.

[core]
modules=shell-helper.so

[shell]
client=/usr/libexec/maynard

The wiki page wiki/Develop-on-a-computer should suggest the above contents of weston.ini instead of what it currently lists.

This issue can be closed.

@joukewitteveen thanks!
