Unable to build on ArchLinux

[t123yh]

Hi udevbe,

I'm getting a build error trying to build the proxy part of Greenfield.

Seems that libwayland-server.so is somehow missing. After copying libwayland-server.so from /usr/lib to the specified path below, it builds, but when a Wayland client connects, a SIGSEGV is received.

I can provide ssh of my test server for you if you would like to investigate further.

The compositor proxy uses a patched wayland server so you can’t simply use the system wayland server. The patched wayland server should have been build automatically when you run yarn install and should be located at the path indicated by the error you get.

[Zubnix]

Could you try deleting your node_modules directory and show me the logs of yarn install?

Hi Zubnix,

Thank you very much for your reply! The building procedure completed successfully after I removed node_modules and tried again. I think this is because I haven't installed wayland before my first attempt to run yarn install.

However, I can still see nothing on the webpage after I clicked connect. The log from proxy are showing that both Wayland and WebSocket is connected, and gnome-terminal does run without any error logs, but I can see nothing on the web page.
