Error seen after removing x11 and adding Wayland/Weston compositor to Poky Linux ARMv8 build #158
Description
Hello,
Having troubles running linuxdeploy-qt after removing x11 and adding wayland with weston compositor to my Yocto Poky Kirkstone ATMv8 build
I got your whole linuxdeploy toolchain with qt input and appimage qt output plugins working on , but then when I tried to run the AppImage on target, I realized it was looking for x11 binaries, which do not exist on our CrossControl v700 / v1200 screens since they are based on Wayland instead of X11 and use a Weston compositor.
So, I rebuilt my Poky binary with the following changes to $POKY_ROOT/build/conf/local.conf (after completely removing the build/tmp directory tree):
ERROR: Cannot deploy non-existing library file: /usr/lib/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so
# Set the distro to work with Wayland and remove all X11 support since these
# are incompatible technologies and our v700/v1200 features use Wayland.
DISTRO_FEATURES:remove = "x11"
DISTRO_FEATURES:append = " wayland"
PACKAGECONFIG:remove:pn-qtbase = "x11"
PACKAGECONFIG:append:pn-qtbase = " wayland"
And now I'm getting the following error from the qt plugin:
...

Any hints on how to resolve ?
Thanks,

I tried defining the following environment variable before invoking the linuxdeploy toolchain:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=waylandmdear commentedon Feb 22, 2024
I'm stuck again.
I'm failing at the same point on my QEMU Yocto Poky Kirkstone build with x11 stripped out and wayland/weston added (and rebuilt completely from scratch)
I'm also running the packaging script on a physical ARMv8 device (CrossControl V700) and am also getting stopped at the exact same point.
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why the linuxdeploy-plugin-qt has any kind of X11 dependencies.

I hacked my way around this, but hope for a fix that will allow a system with no x11 support to not expect x11 libraries.

I finally got an AppImage that works on my ARMv8 target, but I had to do some manual packaging steps. This toolchain got me 95% of the way there, though, so I'm appreciative !
