Wayland-1.19.0

Introduction to Wayland

Wayland is a project to define a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a library implementation of the protocol.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.1 platform.

Install Wayland by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --disable-static \
            --disable-documentation &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user:

make install

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--disable-documentation: This switch is used to disable building of the API documentation. Remove it if you have installed optional dependencies.
