[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/4] package/efl: add OpenGL/OpenGLES support

[Romain Naour]

Allow to enable graphic acceleration using OpenGL or OpenGLES with efl
libraries.

The full OpenGL option depend on X11, because full OpenGL means GLX,
which means X11. Also select efl xlib support when full OpenGL is
selected.

Enable OpenGL ES when EGL API is enabled, otherwise the build fail with
this error:
configure: error: OpenGL ES requires EGL, please add --enable-egl to your configure options to switch to EGL + OpenGL ES.

With the upcomming Wayland support in EFL Buildroot packaging,
OpenGL ES support is recommended.

It also depends on BR2_PACKAGE_LIBXKBCOMMON (I've had a build failure).

Note that libxkbcommon was already selected by the efl package if
wayland is used. But the elput functionality needs it unconditionally.

I've added the libxkbcommon dependency here, and also an "else" clause
to explicitly --disable-elput.

Applied with those changes. Thanks!

[Buildroot] [PATCH 3/4] package/efl: enable libdrm support

[Romain Naour]

This support is required for Enlightenment wayland support [1] which
will be added in a follow up patch.

As stated in configure.ac, libdrm support needs libdrm, elput,
libxkbcommon and libgbm.

libgbm is only provided by mesa3d package when OpenGL EGL support is
enabled, so add a direct dependency on mesa3d.

Rework the libxkbcommon dependency since it's now required for
ecore-wayland and libdrm support.

So, on which platform have you tested that?

I'm still a bit uneasy with this libgbm stuff provided only by mesa3d.
Does this means that other OpenGL ES implementations are not suitable?

And elput (see earlier patch).

Why do you have a "depends on" for this rather than a "select" ?

Initially, I worked only with Qemu only but I set up an x86_64 atom target to
test on real hardware.

On the efl download page [1] they say "opengl (mesa or vendor supplied desktop
OpenGL or OpenGL-ES2)", so mesa3d seems the only suitable implementation
available in Buildroot.

Is it useful to have it as a separate option from BR2_PACKAGE_EFL_DRM ?
In which case can BR2_PACKAGE_EFL_DRM without BR2_PACKAGE_EFL_GL_DRM be
useful ?

So perhaps "BR2_PAKCAGE_EFL_GLES_DRM" is a better name? "GL" usually
refers to "full OpenGL", as opposed to OpenGL ES.

This help text is wrong, as it is just a copy/paste of the one of
BR2_PACKAGE_EFL_DRM.

I find all those DRM/OpenGLES options in the efl package very
confusing. Are all those options needed? What are the use cases for the
different possible cases?

You mean enable evas gl-drm engine only when all dependencies are available
without using a separate option? Yes why not.

> In which case can BR2_PACKAGE_EFL_DRM without BR2_PACKAGE_EFL_GL_DRM be
> useful ?

I don't know. The evas gl-drm (opengl based DRM) engine can be enabled
separately from ecore drm for some reason, so I tried to reproduce this
possibility on the packaging.
Anyway my goal is the test EFL/E with Wayland and --enable-gl-drm and
--enable-drm are required together for this [1].

Indeed, sorry...
The help text should precise that this support the Evas DRM based on OpenGL ES.

Well, the packaging is confusing because theses options are already confusing at
configure.ac level. Do we want a fine grained options choices for theses or a
"global" OpenGLES + DRM options?

I am agree EFL and DRM are confusing. And it is not finished yet. They 
are doing an other DRM implementation 'DRM2'.

https://blogs.s-osg.org/introducing-new-improved-ecore_drm2-library/

But, you are asking for use case. So, here is mine :

I am doing a stand alone application on imx6. I am using EFL to run on 
top of DRM. Without X or wayland. My application is simple, I am not 
sure if the support of opengles is good for me or not.. as the boot time 
is important for me. Maybe loading opengl libs at start would slow down 
start up. I don't know..

I will resend the patch of Romain Naour, they are usefull for me.

Those defaults are not really needed, and they are not great as they
duplicate the dependencies of the options.

Instead, I've moved the "none" choice at the end, and just relied on
kconfig's behavior that consists in automatically selecting the first
choice that has its dependencies met.

Since they are mutually exclusive, I've changed this by a:

ifeq ...
...
else ifeq ...
...
else ifeq ...
...
endif

block.

Applied with those changes. Thanks!
