Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] package/libxkbcommon: build libxkbregistry when libxml2 is available
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:21:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807002109.2479876-1-alseycmiller@gmail.com> (raw)
libxkbregistry is the keyboard layout catalogue half of the library. It
parses the XML layout registry and so needs libxml2, which is presumably
why it was disabled unconditionally rather than wired to a dependency.
wine needs it. Its configure.ac requires XKBREGISTRY_LIBS alongside
wayland-client, wayland-scanner, xkbcommon and linux/input.h before it
will build the Wayland driver, and wine.mk passes --with-wayland for any
build with BR2_PACKAGE_WAYLAND - which turns that notice into a hard
error:
checking for wayland-client.h... yes
checking for wl_display_connect in -lwayland-client... yes
checking for wayland-scanner... .../host/bin/wayland-scanner
checking for xkb_context_new in -lxkbcommon... yes
checking for wayland-egl.h... yes
checking for wl_egl_window_create in -lwayland-egl... yes
configure: error: Wayland development files not found, the Wayland
driver won't be supported.
This is an error since --with-wayland was requested.
Every other term of that test passes; only XKBREGISTRY_LIBS is empty, so
wine and wayland together could not be built on any architecture.
Gated on BR2_PACKAGE_LIBXML2 rather than turned on outright, because
meson.build takes dependency('libxml-2.0') unconditionally once
enable-xkbregistry is set, so a target without libxml2 would fail to
configure.
