Hello,
It seems that many GUI toolkits are slowly starting to move to wayland
(http://wayland.freedesktop.org/), that moved to v1.0
Is there anyone who currently working on binding for it for FPC ?
It might be better to ask this on the Lazarus list as Wayland support seems
to require more than just the API binding (at least as far as I have
understood it).
I'm not sure why, because as far as I know, it replaces the X11
protocol, not gdk, Qt etc...
It also provide compositing window manager based support - that is to
create window managers (such as kwin).
But I'll ask there as well :)
If you use GTK or Qt you won't of course have any problem, but if you
want to create a true Wayland client (like for example a
LCL-Customdrawn-Wayland) you need to provide a memory buffer in which
you need to render your GUI widgets so only the API alone won't make a
GUI application ;)
Regards,
Sven
