How to use Qt Wayland

vidyabhushan

Hi All,

I want to develop an application with Qt Wayland Compositor. Can anyone suggest how to go about it. Qt 5.11 does not come with Wayland package. Kindly guide me from where to get the plugin and use it

Can anyone confirm if Wayland Libraries are inbuilt in Qt 5.12 or need to be built separately

Hi
The link says
"The Qt installer does unfortunately not include binaries for Qt Wayland. You can however build it from source yourself if you want to use the latest stable version (see below)."

So Im guessing on its not included and you must build it yourself.

@vidyabhushan: What system are you on? The Qt installer includes Qt Wayland, but libwayland is a dependency you need to install yourself. It should be easy to install through your distro package manager.
