Buildling with system wlroots

[WhyNotHugo]

• Read through ISSUE_GUIDELINES.md.

I'm trying to build Hyprland on Alpine. More specifically, I'm trying to package Hyprland on Alpine. wlroots is already a separate package.

I'm trying to build using make release, but this fails since it expects a wlroot with a patched version (as done by make fixwlr):

From what I can tell, the code in wlroots is used clean from upstream, but it's just that the version that's different (is my understanding so far correct?).

How can I build using the regular wlroots? What's the advise for packagers in this case. I'm not 100% sure what the right entry point is: I see make which uses cmake, but also meson.

I tried using meson, but that didn't work, and I'm not entirely sure why not:

[WhyNotHugo]

Oh, I think that the issue when using meson is that I'm missing hyprland-protocols, which I guess I should package first separately.

Does that mean I shouldn't be using make release?

[vaxerski]

You're not supposed to be using system wlroots. Hyprland's subproject is not taken directly from upstream, it's a few commits behind. If you do take it from the git head directly, half of the time it's going to fail to build.

#302

[vaxerski]

The advice for packagers is to either use the patched .so alongside Hyprland (which does not conflict with other wlroots installs) or link statically when building with meson.

I'm building 0.22.0beta. I'm using wlroots's latest stable. Does that version work?

Never mind, you're replied in the interim.

[vaxerski]

hyprland-protocols should probably not be a separate package, it's just a few .xml files. It'd be probably a better idea to just clone recursively, as you should, and it should be alright.

[WhyNotHugo]

hyprland-protocols should probably not be a separate package

Isn't it in a separate repository because other projects may require it at build time?

[vaxerski]

nothing apart from hyprland and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland will require it.

I think I'm missing hyperland-protocols at this point, thought the message is unclear. Maybe this hint will guide some future packager.

[vaxerski]

That's a problem with your distro most likely. Execinfo should be present on linux.

[WhyNotHugo]

It's not a problem with the distro. Like I said, I'm the one writing the package, so dependencies are not yet installed (since I still haven't resolved all of them).

I guess meson isn't checking for all the dependencies to confirm if they're installed, since it didn't indicate anything missing.

[vaxerski]

it's a part of glibc: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/execinfo_002eh.html

[theoparis]

I'm compiling with musl on alpine linux and I have the same error 😕 I was able to temporarily fix it by removing the backtrace lines and the execinfo.h include but that will probably cause an issue with crash reporting.

[vaxerski]

it will indeed. Again, it's a part of glibc, so the issue might be that alpine does not have it.

[WhyNotHugo]

@theoparis You can try gcompat or libexecinfo and see if either of those work. However, I'm not sure what other dependency might turn out to be missing after that.

[nekopsykose]

You can try gcompat or libexecinfo and see if either of those work.

execinfo.h can be provided by the latter (the former has no relevance). that doesn't exist on alpine, of course, and was removed before for various reasons. strictly speaking, it will never work correctly with musl-libc, so it doesn't exist. on linux, glibc and uclibc provide it, i'm not sure of other libcs.

patching out the include and backtrace()/backtrace_symbols() is the easiest solution if you want to build it yourself there.

I'm trying to package Hyprland on Alpine

it will be rejected so my recommendation is to stop wasting your own time towards that goal.

[WhyNotHugo]

it will be rejected so my recommendation is to stop wasting your own time towards that goal.

No worries, I've not persisted on this.
