Dear Qubes community,
I need a wayland socket to run a specific app. There is a guide to install wayland on fedora:
But I dont understand the instructions. After installing the packages I have to build something:
cd /path/to/source && meson setup build && cd build && meson compile
But what is the path to source here?
Thanks,
Singer
I guess it’s the directory with qubes-wayland sources from the github e.g.:
git clone https://github.com/DemiMarie/qubes-wayland
cd qubes-wayland && meson setup build && cd build && meson compile
Thank you. I tried it and the output was:
cd qubes-wayland && meson setup build && cd build && meson compile

Is there something wrong?
The log file says:
Called: `/usr/bin/pkg-config --modversion wayland-protocols` -> 1
stderr:
Package wayland-protocols was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `wayland-protocols.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

You need to install cmake in your fedora template:
sudo dnf install cmake
Did you install the packages listed in Prerequisites?
Now the AppVM terminal says:

Found CMake: /usr/bin/cmake (3.27.7)

Is still something wrong?
There is no package wayland-protocols installable in fedora.
Install the required packages and then retry the build process:
sudo dnf install libxcb-devel libdrm-devel wayland-devel libxkbcommon-devel pixman-devel systemd-devel qubes-libvchan-xen-devel cargo
That was a spelling mistake, sorry. Should be “now”. The packages were already installed. There is still the wayland-protocols error. What could I do?
Try to install wayland-protocols-devel package.
Okay, now wayland-protocols work, but I had also to install wlroots and wlroots-devel. Now the problem is, that it needs an older version of wlroots, but it is not available in fedora 39:
Run-time dependency wayland-protocols found: YES 1.34
Build-time dependency wayland-scanner found: YES 1.22.0
Program /usr/bin/wayland-scanner found: YES (/usr/bin/wayland-scanner)

Found CMake: /usr/bin/cmake (3.27.7)
Run-time dependency wlroots found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

What now?
I guess you’ll need to use an older Fedora template. The qubes-wayland was tested with Fedora 37 template.
On fedora 38 the command also failed:

cd qubes-wayland
sed -i "s|git+ssh://git@gitlab|https://gitlab|" .gitmodules .git/config
git submodule update --init

Means that worked successful?
Yes, try to build in the new cloned qubes-wayland directory.
You think, I should go to /home/user/qubes-wayland and run these commands again?
git clone https://github.com/DemiMarie/qubes-wayland
cd qubes-wayland && meson setup build && cd build && meson compile
You’ve already cloned the repository with submodules, cd to this directory and build it.
cd /home/user/qubes-wayland && meson setup build && cd build && meson compile
