Weston Feedback

Weston Feedback

[Diego]

Hi all,

I've tried instructions for using Weston on i.MX6, and they work correctly for 
the Nitrogen6x board: I've been able to run all the "Simple tests" listed 
here.
https://github.com/Freescale/Documentation/blob/master/user-guide/source/weston.rst
Thank you for the guide and the great work.

FYI, I got this little warning during build:
WARNING: QA Issue: weston rdepends on libdrm, but it isn't a build dependency? 
[build-deps]
It's not blocking in any way, but maybe it's useful for you to know about 
that.


Does anybody know if it's possible to do the same for i.MX6SLEVK?
I've seen there are patches about using Wayland / Weston on SoloLite, in 
particular I'm referring to this:
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/meta-freescale/2014-August/009949.html

I'm using the master branch updated yesterday, so the patch is included, but 
when building "core-image-weston" for MACHINE ??= 'imx6slevk' I'm getting:

Maybe this is not the correct image for i.MX6SLEVK, as it is including Clutter 
stuff, which is not actually required by Weston?

Thanks,
Diego

For those interested, that was the correct hypothesis, as removing the 
"clutter-1.0-examples" from the CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL made the image build 
correctly:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-graphics/images/core-image-weston.bb#n11

So for those building Weston images for SoloLite, don't include Clutter stuff 
by now.

Bests,
Diego
