Description Scott Robbins 2024-12-14 18:09:34 UTC
Description of problem:
There is no labwc in RHEL9. As RHEL10 will be going entirely to wayland, 
having alternatives to Gnome/KDE would be beneficial as I suspect that many users besides myself prefer a simple WM to a full blown DE. 

This is related to my request for labwc at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2330092, and my request for libdrm and xcb-util-errors at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2332393

In answer to my request for labwm, Troy Dawson stated that we'd need wlroots, which, in turn, required librm and xcb-util-errors, hence my request for them.

Comment 1 Troy Dawson 2024-12-16 17:37:09 UTC
Is this a request for epel10 or epel9?
For epel10, the only packages needed are
  libdrm
  xcb-util-errors
Bugs have been filed requesting those packages.

But for epel9, due to old libraries in RHEL9, the newest wlroots that can be built is wlroots-0.15.1 which is a few years old.
If you want that older build, for epel9, then you'll need different dependencies.
  seatd
Which builds fine in epel9

Comment 2 Scott Robbins 2024-12-16 19:29:05 UTC
Hi Mr. Dawson. The request is for RHEL9, but actually, the problems will start with 10, as EL9 has X available and can be used with various X window managers. My thought is that I suspect I'm not that much of an edge case--that there will be people who work with RH or variants at work, and would like it at home as well, but would prefer a lighter window manager instead of Gnome. I was able to build wlroots on an EL10 VM using fc40 srpms.

I grabbed the rpm from bodhi and it installed without problem. After that I was able to install labwc-08.2-1 from rpmfind.
