OpenSceneGraph and Wayland

[Tcl3D Webmaster]

Dear OSG community,

has anybody extended OSG to use Wayland instead of X11 as GraphicsWindow?

Thanks for any hints or links.

Best regards,

Hi Paul,

I'm aware of one SDL2 backend developed for OpenMW, this in turn supports Wayland as one of the SDL2 backends:

https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/master/components/sdlutil/sdlgraphicswindow.cpp

Personally, I've been working to create a direct Wayland backend for OSG as part of the FlightGear simulator, patch here:

https://www.ashbysoft.com/images/upload/flightgear.patch

This 'works for me' for FlightGear but would probably be better positioned as a PR directly to OSG of course - I'll take a look shortly!

Phil.

Hi Phil,

thanks for the information.
I will take a look at your FlightGear patch.

Background information: I'm evaluating the possibility to run OSG on a TI Jacinto, which only supports Wayland.

Regards,
Paul

Hi all,

As a closure to this (nearly a year old) topic - I have now submitted a PR to OSG/master for native Wayland support (https://github.com/openscenegraph/OpenSceneGraph/pull/1170). Please use the discussion topic (https://github.com/openscenegraph/OpenSceneGraph/discussions/1260) for any follow up rather than this archive.

Cheers,

Phil.
