wayland-weston in linux-imx 3.10.17

[sharvariharisan]

i have a imx dual board with linux-imx 3.10.17 . I want to use weston with wayland as a backend.

I am using yocto for building kernel and rootfs. I enabled DISTRO_FEATURES="wayland" and also made backend = "wayland"

Now I wish to run weston on my board, For this i used command

weston --backend=wayland-backend.so --no-config

It shows me following error:

[19:40:10.197] weston 1.6.0

               Bug reports to: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wayland&component=weston&version=1.6.0

What could be the possible reason for this?

Hi Sharvari,

If in any case you are using any i.MX6 with GPU you need to apply a Wayland patch in order to avoid build breaks. However I do not sure if these patch work on 3.10.17, probably you will have to upgrade to 3.14.28 BSP.
