I managed to compile and run compositor-spice with the latest weston master branch. See last <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://github.com/ein-shved/compositor-spice/commit/585cbd281fd4c4685df83d22d60ec5670479b474">commit</a>. Here, how I did it: export PREFIX=$HOME/usr #setup prefix variable. You can choose another or use default one sh autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-weston-launch --enable-spice-compositor #configure with different preffix, spice-compositor and without weston-launch to install as normal user make -j8 && make install && ./src/weston --backend=spice-backend.so #compile project with 8 threads, install modules and run weston with spice-compositor. On another terminal run spicy --display=:0 -h localhost -p 5912 # to connect to spice server. Please try it by yourself and let me know the results! This is only the first step. Next we need to remove all unnecessary code, change backend to good weston coding style, move to new spice API and check it with valgrind and unit-tests. After that we will think about optimization. Firstly, make all of it like in RDP. </blockquote> Thanks, also today I not have enough free-time for test it but at maximum I'll do it in the weekend. I'll also try it in lan changing listen from localhost to '0.0.0.0' (any) and in the weekend I'll try to make host and port configurable with weston.ini. After probably I'll also try to add image compression and authentication (user and password only initially) support. About repository keep the method you prefer, I'll keep all changes ready for upstream post for review in another branch, for example now I did fast a commit based on your latest changes with a small description (to improve): <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Fantu/compositor-spice/commit/56719743370e2387b75ca31434dfc3bbb9d735f0">https://github.com/Fantu/compositor-spice/commit/56719743370e2387b75ca31434dfc3bbb9d735f0</a> (based on your commit 585cbd2 - Restore mouse motion) When will be enough good we'll start to post it to mailing list (with git format-patch and git send-email or different if required) for review. <blockquote cite="mid:56D4AF58.8070802@lvk.cs.msu.su" type="cite"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 02/29/2016 05:07 PM, Yury Shvedov wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:56D46CBB.5060907@lvk.cs.msu.su" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 02/29/2016 04:39 PM, Fabio Fantoni wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:56D4664F.5050408@m2r.biz" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> Il 29/02/2016 16:01, Yury Shvedov ha scritto: <blockquote cite="mid:56D45D54.4010504@lvk.cs.msu.su" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> Unfortunately, it is bit complex for me, to understand what are you trying to do and why do you dancing with diff's instead of just simple merge. </blockquote> Sorry for my bad english. </blockquote> Don't worry, your English is pretty good.

To understand it you have to read sources as I. I remember that in fact spice protocol is - to say simple - drawing API. You can draw stuff from spice-server on spice-client's screen.

As you can see, several functions have changed: - weston_output_finish_frame now takes a struct timespec rather than an integer number of milliseconds (trivial conversion) - the output repaint function now returns an integer marking success or failure - the compositor interface has now changed to weston_backend, and you can see examples of the changes required in commit 954f183e Hope this helps: just pick out the warnings and errors one by one, and try to figure them out - searching git commits for anything relevant always helps - until you get something that builds.
