Qt installer on wayland?
-
I was trying to install Qt from the installer (https://www.qt.io/download-thank-you) on Arch Linux, with sway wayland. But the installer needs xcb.
I can enable xwayland, but does it mean I'll have to use Qt/QtCreator on xwayland necessarily?
I tried to find around here and there, but could find nothing meaningful.Also,
Sorry if I'm being naive, but how is development on Qt different in wayland and X11?
As a newbie, does it matter if I use qt on wayland with the existing tutorials/books? -
Hi and welcome to devnet,
I don't know whether you have the Wayland backend as well for the installer, one thing you can do is try to pass
--platform wayland
as parameter to the installer executable.As for the rest, no, you shall be able to use and develop on Wayland without issue. It's one of the supported backend. If it does not pick it up automatically, you can force its use.
