Missing wayland-protocols-devel?

[AlbertoGP]

Hi, I’m trying to compile a program using wayland, I get the following error message:

In file included from rglfw.c:95:
./external/glfw/src/wl_init.c:43:10: fatal error: 'wayland-xdg-shell-client-protocol.h' file not found
#include "wayland-xdg-shell-client-protocol.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve installed wayland-devel, wayland-devel-static, and wayland-protocols, but I do not see any other package that seems relevant.
Searching for that .h file name in the package list (“Contents”) also did not yield any result.

Is there a missing wayland-protocols-devel package, or should I get that file from somewhere else?

This might actually be a shortcoming in GLFW because wayland support is not yet finished.

After some research, it turns out that this has nothing to do with Chimera.

It seems that libraries like GLFW, raylib, sokol, are not a good fit for wayland as discussed in this PR about adding wayland support to sokol: floooh/sokol#425 (comment)

For me the solution is to install xwayland, xserver-org-cevel. libxcursor-devel-static, libxinerama-devel-static.

What I’m trying to do is to compile one of my programs that uses raylib without installing xorg on Chimera, that is with as few customizations as possible.

wayland-protocols is the only protocols package, it does not need a separate -devel

glfw can be compiled with wayland, but it's either one or the other backend (i.e. you can't have support for both x11 and wayland in one library), dunno about the others

also that guy is wrong, sdl is multi-backend and works well (you can have x11 and wayland at the same time in one binary), window decorations in toolkit-independent stuff can be brought in with libdecor

glfw can be compiled with wayland, but it's either one or the other backend (i.e. you can't have support for both x11 and wayland in one library)

(next release of glfw will also fix that, current master can have both at once)
