I was trying to create a Wayland window, and I keep getting these strange linkers errors.
Header:
#include <wayland-client.h>
#include <wayland-client-protocol.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
namespace dmaf
{
class WINDOW
{
private:
bool Init();
public:
void Run();
WINDOW();
~WINDOW();
};
WINDOW::WINDOW()
{
}
WINDOW::~WINDOW()
{
}
bool WINDOW::Init()
{
return 1;
}
void WINDOW::Run()
{
if (Init())
{
wl_display* display = wl_display_connect(0);
if (display)
printf("h\n");
else
printf("g\n");
if (!display)
return;
wl_display_disconnect(display);
}
}
}
Main:
#include "WAYDMAF.h"
using namespace dmaf;
int main()
{
WINDOW window;
window.Run();
}
Errors:
Package wayland-client-protocol was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `wayland-client-protocol.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'wayland-client-protocol' found

^there may be some errors as I didn't try to add all necessary headers^
I've tried a few g++ settings, but nothing.
g++:
g++ program.cxx $(pkg-config --cflags wayland-client-protocol) -o program
g++ program.cxx $(pkg-config --cflags wayland-client) -o program
usr/include:
wayland-egl
wayland-server-protocol
wayland-client
wayland-server-core
wayland-util
wayland-version
wayland-egl-core
wayland-cursor
wayland-client-protocol
wayland-server
wayland-client-core
I've also tried compiling Hello-Wayland, but I got a mountain of the same errors. I'm using Pop!_os, and I don't remember having any problems with X when I was on Ubuntu (Haven't tried X on Pop,and I don't remember using Wayland on Ubuntu). It seems to only do this to wl_display_connect, wl_display_disconnect, and wl_display_connect_to_fd, so I checked in all of my header files and none of them had wl_display_connect (didn't try the other methods). Is it possible I need some other header files? If so, what do I need?
-Thanks del
