undefined reference to `xdg_popup_interface'

[andreldm]

On Arch Linux I get this error. I have weston 6.0.1 installed and used ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr. When meson is used instead it complains about "libweston-4" not found.

Same here with Debian 10. I've got libweston-5 installed.

Same on Void Linux with libweston-9 installed.

Yeah this is happening to me, I have no idea why. I tried adding WAYLAND_PROTOCOLS_LIBS to the Makefile.am in both the src and protocols directory, it made no difference. Surely as long as I have wayland-protocols, this shouldn't be happening?

The xdg_popup_interface thing, that is.

I haven't touched the meson.build in a long time, I'm using autotools.

It looks like on Ubuntu 22.04 that you need to install libweston-9-dev, then either modify lines 124 and 125, or lines 126 and 127 of configure.ac.in to point to libweston-9 and libweston-desktop-9 with version 9.0.0.

Or at least, it made the error go away when I run ./autogen.sh --PREFIX="$PWD/build". Not sure if it actually builds yet.

I also got stuck in the undefined reference to `xdg_popup_interface' issue, but I do not find a way to solve this error.
