Description Lluc 2025-11-27 09:52:17 UTC

Description of problem:
This is more of a question/feature request rather than a bug. I find myself having to build libwebsockets as a subproject only in my Fedora machines, due to the lack of glib event loop support in the official package. In other distros like Ubuntu, the glib support is in the distro package, which is super convenient to me because I have a few GTK apps which use websockets.

I'm curious, is there any specific reason why this isn't being built in the Fedora package?

Thx in advance

Likely because it's currently built against the libuv/libev event loop support, this pre-dates my time as maintainer, is that event loop an option?

I can take a look at if we can build multiple options, if we can I suspect the reason we don't is because it's yet to be requested.

Looks like it was just an oversight, not requested :)
