My progress in Wayland compatibility layer

[3dEyes]

Webkit-gtk successfully built and works fine under Haiku x86 (32bit).

PS: clang rules!

[khallebal]

I get these warnings too, but the theme gets applied anyway.
Try renaming the folder to just Haiku (case sensitive), you need the whole folder not just the “gtk-3.0” subfolder.

Mind sharing your recipe (or did you change cmd:gcc with cmd:clang in there)?

[3dEyes]

I will post an updated recipe today on haikuports.

Actually to switch to using clang you need to add in dependencies: cmd:clang >= 12, gcc_syslibs, gcc_syslibs_devel, libllvm_12 and set environment variables CC="/bin/clang" and CXX="/bin/clang++" before configure.

I made it, thank you very much for you guidance. It was indeed the name of the theme that caused these troubles.

The only thing is that gtk3-demo and Inkscape do not use the Haiku theme and
Claws Mail and Epiphany look a bit ugly.
Is it how it is supposed to be or is there something wrong with the theme?

Some apps indeed don’t use the theme unless they"re ran from terminal, i don’t know why that is, the gnome apps look weird even in linux, you can disable that extra yellow toolbar by commenting (multi-line style) the whole “headerbar” section in the gtk-3.0 file from line 1528 up to including line 1611.
You can make other tweaks, the changes take effect immediately.

@khallebal @3dEyes already commented on that issue when I was in the progress of creating the recipe for BlueFish, you can find it in the last comment I gave here.

[khallebal]

Yeah, i totally forgot the XDG thing.

Just installed webkit-gtk, MiniBrowser crashes when trying to load a page:

I’ve updated to the latest nightly today (hrev56609) and all wayland based apps (Epiphany, LRRH, Claws, Inkscape and GIMP) crash being unable to find a path related to gdk_pixbuf.
They seem to look for 2.42.9-2 instead of 2.42.9-3.
I tried to revert back to the previous hrev 56595 and they worked until I rebooted again.
I tried to fix this by removing all packages and reinstalling them to no avail.
Has anyone got the same issue?

[Nexus-6]

I solved in the end by uninstalling wayland and all its dependencies. Something went wrong after my previous attempt. The second one succedeed, indeed.

[dakota]

Did you reboot in between uninstalling and reinstalling wayland? I did an uninstall/reinstall without rebooting and still get a crash. Haven’t tried restarting the system yet.

edit: this seems to have made no difference

[dakota]

I uploaded my crash report here, I’m not smart enough to understand exactly where things are going sideways.

Edit: the fix for me was reinstalling gdk_pixbuf

[davidkaroly]

I can confirm the same issue. Uninstalling wayland and gdk_pixbuf and then reinstalling them seems to work.

[Nexus-6]

Yes several times. I’d suggest to remove the packages (namely wayland) by manually deleting the files in /system/packages then checking their presence in /system/packages/administrative/activated-packages

See the pixmap script issue in the following bug report (GTK apps crash gtk_icon_helper assertion (both GIMP and Epiphany) on a particular box. · Issue #7477 · haikuports/haikuports · GitHub). Rerunning the post install script fixes the configuration issues.

[3dEyes]

For reasons I do not understand, the postinstall script does not run every time a package is installed/updated. This seems to be a problem with the Haiku’s package manager.

I implemented proper Wayland global object handling and added support of multiple clients. Multiple clients is needed for GTK 4 inspector that is now working.
