Description Xavier Claessens 2013-10-01 17:08:38 UTC 
By default a simple "./autogen.sh" on linux (ubuntu here) will fail if libwayland is not there, or with older version:

Requested 'wayland-client >= 1.2.0' but version of Wayland Client is 1.1.0

If I pass --enable-wayland-backend=no then it fails because X11 is not enabled by default: error: No GDK backends selected.

So I have to pass explicitly --enable-x11-backend

I think the configure script should be smart enough to enable all backends for which I have the required dependency, and fail only if none of the backends can be built. Right?

Can we backport the fix to 3.10 ?
