The Xwayland package is an Xorg server running on top of the wayland server. It has been separated from the main Xorg server package. It allows running X clients inside a wayland session.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.2 platform.

libxcvt-0.1.2, Pixman-0.43.4, wayland-protocols-1.36, Xorg Applications (runtime), and Xorg Fonts (only font-util)
libepoxy-1.5.10, libtirpc-1.3.5, and Mesa-24.1.5
git-2.46.0 (to download packages needed for the tests), libei-1.3.0, libgcrypt-1.11.0, Nettle-3.10, xmlto-0.0.29, Xorg Legacy Fonts (only bdftopcf, for building fonts required for the tests), rendercheck (for tests), and weston (for tests)
Install xwayland by running the following commands:
sed -i '/install_man/,$d' meson.build && mkdir build && cd build && meson setup .. \ --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX \ --buildtype=release \ -D xkb_output_dir=/var/lib/xkb && ninja
Building the test framework needs some work. First, weston brings in several dependencies, but the number can be reduced by disabling unneeded features. The meson command for a stripped down build of weston is shown in Upstream continuous integration build.
Running the tests involves downloading two other frameworks, in addition to the mentioned optional dependencies:
mkdir tools &&
pushd tools &&
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/piglit.git --depth 1 &&
cat > piglit/piglit.conf << EOF &&
[xts]
path=$(pwd)/xts
EOF
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/test/xts --depth 1 &&
export DISPLAY=:22 &&
../hw/vfb/Xvfb $DISPLAY &
VFB_PID=$! &&
cd xts &&
CFLAGS=-fcommon ./autogen.sh &&
make &&
kill $VFB_PID &&
unset DISPLAY VFB_PID &&
popd
Then the tests can be run with:
XTEST_DIR=$(pwd)/tools/xts PIGLIT_DIR=$(pwd)/tools/piglit ninja test
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install &&
cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles << "EOF"
/tmp/.X11-unix dir 1777 root root
EOF
If Xorg-Server-21.1.13 is not installed and
you do not plan to install it later, you can install Xvfb from this package. As the
root
user:
install -vm755 hw/vfb/Xvfb /usr/bin
sed -i '/install_man/,$d' meson.build: Prevents installing a manual page for Xserver, which is also provided by Xorg-Server-21.1.13. Remove this command if Xorg-Server-21.1.13 is not installed and you don't plan to install it later.
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
cat >>
/etc/sysconfig/createfiles...: This command creates
the /tmp/.X11-unix
directory at
startup, and ensures that the permissions and ownership are correct
as required by applications using Xwayland.
