Why does gbm_viv.so depends on libwayand-server.so

[ortogonal]

Hi!

When comparing imx-gpu-viv-6.2.4.p1.0-aarch64 with imx-gpu-viv-6.2.4.p0.2-aarch64 there is one strange difference. The file gbm_viv.so is depending on libwayland-server in version 6.2.4.p1.0 but not in 6.2.4.p0.2. I can't see any reason why one would need to build libwayland-server.so just to use the GPU on a framebuffer system.

To test this:

$ readelf -a imx-gpu-viv-6.2.4.p0.2-aarch64/gpu-core/usr/lib/gbm_viv.so | grep NEEDED                 
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libdrm.so.2]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libGAL.so]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libc.so.6]
$ readelf -a imx-gpu-viv-6.2.4.p1.0-aarch64/gpu-core/usr/lib/gbm_viv.so | grep NEEDED     
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libdrm.so.2]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libGAL.so]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libwayland-server.so.0]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libc.so.6]

It would be great to get a explanation why this change was added or if this is a configuration error.

Best regards,

Erik

Hi Erik,

It makes sense for gbm_viv.so to have dependency on libwayland_server.so since it hooks up gbm and wayland.

It has been recently added.

It is not available yet in early release version p0. It is normal you didn't see it.

Okay, it might make sense. I'm not that familiar with gbm.

But then I have a new question. Why do NXP provide a "-fb" version of libEGL, libGLESv2 etc.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 erik erik       12 apr 20 14:02 libEGL.so -> libEGL-fb.so 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 erik erik       12 apr 20 14:02 libEGL.so.1 -> libEGL-fb.so 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 erik erik       12 apr 20 14:02 libEGL.so.1.0 -> libEGL-fb.so 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 erik erik  1353256 mar 12 16:28 libEGL-wl.so 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 erik erik  1138032 mar 12 16:24 libEGL-x11.so

If I can't run the framebuffer only version what's the reason for having "-fb" version and which should I use?

Best regards
