Hi folks,
A little background - I'm currently experimenting with a pure Wayland desktop (using sway with Xwayland disabled) on my Debian stable (11.5/bullseye) system (apparently I'm a masochist!). I have previously enjoyed my Flightgear via the AppImage binaries, however these have no support for Wayland in the pre-packaged/configured Qt backend (they only list 'xcb' drivers), and may not have support in the Openscenegraph libs either.. so my question:
1/ Can Flightgear run on a pure Wayland desktop at all (ie: are there any hard dependencies on X11?)
2/ What would I need to do / what would need to be built from source to make this happen?
3/ Has someone else already done this, if so are there .deb files available (because I'm lazy!)?
4/ Could the AppImage binaries be updated to include Wayland support 'out-of-the-box' (because that would be nice for many other Wayland users)?
too many questions - I know, sorry..
Cheers,
Phil.
