Are there any plans on >> emancipating it from GLX? If your concern is that your app works across window systems, then it shouldn't be a problem. You can get a desktop GL context through EGL on Wayland without any problems. The issue everyone talks about is that libGL also contains a GLX implementation so it links against Xlib. This will create a link-time dependency on Xlib. However, since your application will not be making any GLX calls, those code-paths will never get exercised and it will gave no runtime dependency on having an X server. Really, this is a packaging problem far more than it is a programming problem. >> >> Thank you, and, please, forgive me if this message does not correspond >> to these lists.

As I said above, that's not a problem. --Jason Ekstrand > _______________________________________________ > wayland-devel mailing list > <a href="mailto:wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> > <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel</a>
