Unable to run my Qt application using wayland plugin(using Yocto build) on Target

[manuvivek9]

I am not able to run my Qt application using wayland plugin. The below are the steps and other methods followed for Running Qt Application in wayland.

Edit yocto/build/conf/local.conf and add:

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks ssh-server-openssh"
DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11 "
DISTRO_FEATURES_append += "wayland opengl"
#opengl = "0"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "

gdb
ruby
qtbase
qtbase-fonts
qtbase-plugins
qtbase-tools
qtdeclarative
qtdeclarative-plugins

Edit yocto/build/conf/bblayers.conf to add the meta-qt5 layer at the end:

BBLAYERS = "${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../poky/meta ${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../poky/meta-yocto ${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../poky/meta-yocto-bsp ${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../meta-renesas/meta-rcar-gen3 ${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain ${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../meta-qt5 ${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../meta-openembedded/meta-oe ${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../meta-openembedded/meta-ruby ${BSPDIR}/WORK/build/../meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia "

bitbake core-image-weston

I was able to compile and execute a simple Hello world widget application (https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Beginners) using qt in Target :

When i run the application it was showing :

./Helloworld

"This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, wayland-egl, wayland.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

Hence i run the same application with wayland plugin:

./Helloworld -platform wayland

I was succesfully able to view the output.

"weston demo applications were running fine"

I was trying to use wayland plugin for running another application with the following steps:

Set the env variable by export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/root
(used since XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable was set in weston.service was /run/user/root and also i was able to list the wayland-0 in /run/user/root/)

It was showing segmentation fault

Therefore i set it as export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0

./App -platform wayland

But it was showing error:

"Failed to create display"

Tried another method of running by the following steps:

./qml-compositor &
./App -platform wayland

/usr/share/qt5/examples/wayland/qml-compositor -platform wayland &
For this step also i got the same "Failed to create display" error.

Could not find a solution to issue. Can any one please support ?
