Hi,

any reason you picked so old versions of Wayland and Weston?

What did you try and what were the error messages?
Without that information it is usually very hard to help.

Do redirect stdout and stderr to a file to ensure you actually see all
output.

Here's a blind guess, try from a local VT:

$ weston-launch -- -Bfbdev-backend.so

If you are trying to run over ssh or via serial terminal, there are a
little more tricks to do which I forget.
