What do you mean exactly?  Don't you mean the other way around?

Weston starts with the RDP backend and you connect to it with a client
that knows about the RDP protocol. Who is the client and who's the
server in your case? It is no clear what you are trying to achieve.

This might be a long shot but it is screen-share.so (hyphen).

Yeah, same issue here.

This kind of sounds like there's no Wayland compositor to connect to.
Maybe weston is failing to start because it can't find that module. 

Printing that weston is saying maybe useful. Maybe journalctl -t weston
says something?

So basically your Qt application is a simple Qt application after all.

Right, if you use the screen-share module that would basically run that
command and in turn what would start another weston instance which you
can connect to it with a RDP client. It scrapes off the content and it sends 
it over RDP.
