Hi,

I'm finding the Linux Vulkan implementation is limited to XCB.

Are there any plans around enabling support for Wayland?

If not I would like to submit a PR without tool support, then possibly at a later date PR for tool support.

Thanks,
Joel

Nevermind.  It's isolated to building tools. Setting 'skia_enable_tools = false' in args.gn works around the X11 dependency.

Thanks,
Joel

Yeah, those are for the windowing framework which we only use for dev testing, and it's pretty bare bones. We recommend that clients either write their own or use an external library (like SDL or GLFW) which is better supported.
