The "low-level library" in question is Qt :p Samuel used this example to show that being able to use two different platform plugins on the same system, without having to have two separate installations of Qt, is not just a cool geeky feature: it's absolutely essential for the Wayland use case. Once you have chosen to use Qt on Wayland, the only sane choice is to use Qt to implement your compositor too. I mean, we use Qt because we don't actually enjoy low-level C programming. The Wayland compositor will then be run with a command line like qwindow-compositor -platform eglfs -plugin linuxinputmouse while the client will do something like hellowindow -platform wayland Exactly the same Qt libraries involved, but two different lighthouse back-ends. - Paul _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
