Missing EGL support for Wayland
see this thread in coin3d-discuss
Hello, It seems that this patch https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=33359#p354412 makes users happy while running FreeCAD under Wayland : see https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/14626 for details. Does coin dev have an opinion about this ~~patch~~ issue, and if this patch might help ? Edit: reformulate
My knowledge about GLX and Wayland is very basic (only from a user perspective), so I do not know what issues may arise when applying this patch. I could make the removed check for GLX optional and enabled by default. Maybe some other devs can shed some light on this.
I've found why coin3d doesn't work correctly on the Wayland environment. The QGLWidget has a problem with a Wayland. I've re-implemented the QuarterWidget with QOpenGLWidget ( https://github.com/epuzanov/pivy/tree/QOpenGLWidget ).
