<div>== Current Status ==<br />
<br />
Wayland protocol libraries and the reference Weston compositor are integrated as packages in the core-oe meta/ layer.<br />
The packages can be build against targets that accept mesa-dri. For example, intel-specific emgd drivers that override<br />
mesa-dri cannot be used to build Weston. <br />
<br />
=== Enable Wayland in a image ===<br />
<br />
The wayland compositor can be enabled by listing it as a DISTRO_FEATURE; there are two steps: <br />
<br />
==== Enable building ====<br />
<br />
* Wayland - If "wayland" flag in DISTRO_FEATURES is set, Mesa builds the wayland-egl platform<br />
* Weston compositor - <br />
** If "wayland flag in DISTRO_FEATURES is set, Weston will build with KMS support. <br />
** Also, if X11 is enabled, as in the x11 DISTRO_FEATURES flag is set, weston will be build with X11 support.<br />
<br />
The preferred way to enable building is<br />
<br />
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " wayland x11"<br />
<br />
==== Enable installing in an image ====<br />
<br />
To set installation in an image, you need to add the following parameters in conf/local.conf:<br />
<br />
* CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "wayland weston" <br />
<br />
=== Running Weston ===<br />
<br />
To run Weston inside X11, simply adding weston to the image will be sufficient. Under Sato there will be a Weston launcher in the Utility category. <br />
<br />
Wayland/Weston work in still developer-oriented. The best way to run them is through CLI. As we fine tune the way to run Weston and setting policies,<br />
scripts to automate this work will be provided.<br />
<br />
==== Environment setup ====<br />
<br />
Please do export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:<br />
<br />
* mkdir -p /tmp/$USER-weston<br />
* chmod 0700 /tmp/$USER-weston<br />
* export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/$USER-weston<br />
<br />
==== Launch ====<br />
<br />
* weston<br />
<br />
== Current working status ==<br />
<br />
=== QEMU ===<br />
<br />
Weston 1.0.3 will not run directly on the emulated QEMU hardware, due to lack of EGL support.<br />
<br />
Weston will run under X emulation without issues.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Physical Machines ===<br />
<br />
There is no embedded-class physical machine yet verified to run Weston to top of hardware.<br />
Current efforts focus on enabling FRI2. <br />
<br />
== Plan ==<br />
<br />
* Upgrade Weston to a version that can run only on framebuffer (e.g. pixman)<br />
* Image that boots Weston on KMS<br />
* Enable GTK+ 3 Wayland support<br />
* Enable Qt Wayland support<br />
* Enable Clutter Wayland support</div>Mohamed Beltagy
