[webkit-gtk] Building with wayland requires GLX for opengl support ?

[Quentin SCHIBLER]

You can have an opengl build of mesa without glx, but the installed opengl library is called libELG.so instead of the traditional libGL.so created by glx. And it causes pkgconf to fail.
Maybe I can symlink libEGL.so to libGL.so ? I will try that tomorrowOn Mar 11, 2021 8:34 PM, Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez <clopez at igalia.com> wrote:
