The openframeworks-nightly package in AUR is quite outdated. Did you use it?

I installed oF on a fresh arch installation yesterday using the openFrameworks package on AUR. To get the package to build, I needed to manually install glfw-x11 (even tough I'm using gnome with wayland) and pugixml. Everything runs smooth.

[CarloCattano]

Hm, in my current system I cant satisfy the dependencies since I have no x11.

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: glfw-x11 and glfw-wayland are in conflict (glfw). Remove glfw-wayland? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing glfw-wayland breaks dependency 'glfw-wayland' required by wlay-git

in theory xwayland could run ofx apps from within wayland I guess , but not sure how to solve the deps issue
Seems like the petition on #6752 makes a lot of sense

[CarloCattano]

OK , problem is if you have glfw-wayland installed, replacing it for glfw-git from AUR it does let you compile it.
Tested a few gl projects and all works as intended

[dimitre]

@CarloCattano should we add this information to installation guides? or maybe changing installation scripts?
I suppose you are testing with 0.12.0 right?

[ofTheo]

I think @artificiel is using arch linux.
Did you have any issues with 0.12.0 install there?

Agree with @dimitre if this is a common issue we should add to the install guide.

[artificiel]

I'm not using Wayland and I'm not sure about the implications, but we cannot adjust the install libs scripts with packages on the AUR.

a note like "for Wayland Arch users: you need to replace glfw-wayland with glfw-git from the AUR" in the install guide would be good.

in any case this ticket should be closed as it's relating to a older problem (and these problem really outdate themselves fast on Arch) and the wider Wayland issue really is covered by #6752

[ofTheo]

Going to rename this issue and track for 0.13.0.
We'll merge @danoli3's linux branch (
#8255 ) which adds Wayland support as soon as 0.12.1 is out.
