I compiled the software, I don't use an app image.

I also tried it on X and on Wayland but, still gives the same error.

I checked the logs but, nothing seems interesting in there:

Here are the prints to the stdout just in case:

After digging a little bit in the source code I've noticed the presence of some definitions for wayland and x11 support. so I added those corresponding defines to qmake.

qmake5 -config release DEFINES+=X11

This should be specified in the read me.

[Alexelnet]

I opened a pr #197 to provide additional building information.

[SaschaWillems]

I don't build on Linux very often, so mostly out of curiosity: Doesn't CMake do that already? The CmakeLists.txt already has switch for X11/Wayland.

[Alexelnet]

As far as I've seen, when building with cmake it's the same thing. The windowing system must be provided with -DX11=ON or -DWAYLAND=ON. Also there's are some issues there which I'm planning to fix as well. I was thinking about making this entire window system support transparent and dynamic. It would work automatically for both x11 and wayland without having the need to build it twice.

https://github.com/SaschaWillems/VulkanCapsViewer/pull/161 <- was already fixed here but reverted

[SaschaWillems]

Is this still open? If something needs to be done about builds Wayland someone needs to do a PR.

[Alexelnet]

I think I can be closed. I'm going to do a pr as soon as I find some free time in order to address some related inconvenience. It would address the issue of having to ship 2 different Linux versions (one for X11 and one for Wayland) which is related to this opened issue but it's more like an improvement rather than a fix for something.

[SaschaWillems]

That would be very much appreciated :)
