Compiling Weland 1.4.3 on Linux

[JohannesG]

It's been a while since I last used Weland (and anything 'thon related as a matter of fact) and decided to check out Weland for a bit of a nostalgia.

Got stuck on trying to figure out how to actually compile it. After I've installed gtk2-sharp and mono "make" spits out the following:

Code: Select all

mcs @weland.rsp
mcs @weland.rsp
make -C Plugins
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/johannesg/weland/Plugins'
mcs -r:../Weland.exe -target:library EnumerateTags.cs
mcs -r:../Weland.exe -target:library Shade.cs
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/johannesg/weland/Plugins'


And I do notice that it spits out a Weland.exe file. But no Linux executable it seems. Is there something I am missing?

(Running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04)

I don't see an error in that output, so it probably worked. Did you try running 'mono Weland.exe'?

[JohannesG]

oh... yes, that works! I just thought it was a windows executable but apparently it works fine under Linux. Double clicking it makes it run through Wine though which doesn't seem to work. 'mono Weland.exe" and "./Weland.exe" runs it flawlessly.

Thank you

All you need is the Mono Framework to use Weland, at least from my understanding.

You have to use binfmt to do that second thing. Ubuntu must come configured that way. Scary!

Mono framework and gtk-sharp2 on Linux to be more precise.

Oh wow, feels like a bit of an overkill to play around with modprobe, rc.local and fstab just for that. Thanks for the heads up!
