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

[Quentin SCHIBLER]

I did, and it works, but I want to use OpenGL, not OpenGLES.
I used libepoxy only because I could not figure out how to make it works with egl and glvnd only. 
I'll send another mail if I do figure it out.
Thanks a lot for your help !On Mar 17, 2021 4:22 AM, Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez <clopez at igalia.com> wrote:

EGL is not supported out of the box because of OpenGLShims.h which doesn't get included. But including it causes issues because glx is not present. Looking at the source code it seems the workaround is to use libepoxy which is supported in WebCore thanks to webkit-wpe but not in webkit-gtk (there is already a bug report regarding this issue, but the proposed patch does not work anymore, and nothing has been done since 2020). So I had to hack in the support. Even with that, some auto-generated files still included EGL/egl.h instead of epoxy/egl.h, and I could not figure out how to prevent it, so I had to link egl+libepoxy, which is pretty ugly.
