Description tarnyko 2014-04-30 20:59:41 UTC 
Hi,

Please consider this patch, with adds initial support for Wayland rendering through GtkGLArea.

It depends on these 2 WIP patches :

* GTK+3 support for GtkGLArea
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707723

* Wayland subsurfaces in GTK+3 :
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729215

and does the following :

If the "--with-gtk=3 --with-wayland-egl" are given at configure time, and GTK >= 3.8.0, Wayland, EGL and GLESv1 development files are present, it will build the new WAYLAND backend with a new "simple_wl" sample, which uses GLESv1 to render a white triangle on a blue background.

(TODO : pointer integration, finer positioning).

GTK+ 3.16 will have a GtkGLArea widget which will supersede the GtkGLArea library, and it already supports Wayland and EGL.

I don't think it's worth adding Wayland support to GtkGLArea.
