Meson is a build system, currently implemented in Python, with multiple output backends, including Ninja and Make. The build file syntax is clean and easy to read unlike autotools. In practise, configuring and building with Meson and Ninja has been observed to be much faster than with autotools. Also cross-building support is excellent. More information at http://mesonbuild.com Since moving to Meson requires some changes from users in any case, we took this opportunity to revamp build options. Most of the build options still exist, some have changed names or more, and a few have been dropped. The option to choose the Cairo flavour is not implemented since for the longest time the Cairo image backend has been the only recommended one. This Meson build should be fully functional and it installs everything an all-enabled autotools build does. Installed pkg-config files have some minor differences that should be insignificant. Building of some developer documentation that was never installed with autotools is missing. It is expected that the autotools build system will be removed soon after the next Weston release.

In-vehicle infotainment (information and entertainment) graphical environment support modules for Weston IVI-shell is an alternative shell for Weston, a Wayland display server. Window management and application interaction with the display server are very different to that of a normal desktop, which is why this is a separate shell and not an extension to the desktop-shell suite with xdg_shell. As such, applications need to be specifically written to use IVI-shell. IVI-shell contains two main features: - Common layout library for surface, which allow ivi-shell developer to develop own shell, linking Common layout library. For the time being, the library refers Genivi ilm interface. https://at.projects.genivi.org/wiki/display/WIE/Wayland+IVI+Extension+Home - Extension protocol; ivi-application to tie wl_surface and a given ID. With this ID, shell can identify which wl_surface is drawn by which application. In in-vehicle infortainment system, a shell has to update a property of a wl_surface. E.g. there may be a use case when vehicle starts to move, the wl_surface drawn by Car navigation is expected to move top of surfaces. The actual software components delivered with Weston are: - ivi-application.xml: Wayland protocol extension for IVI-applications; the public shell protocol (the same concept as xdg_shell). Implemented by ivi-shell.so. - ivi-shell.so: A Weston shell module that implements ivi-application.xml interfaces. Loads ivi-layout.so. - ivi-layout.so: Implements the IVI window management concepts: Screen, Layer, Surface, groups of Layers, groups of Surfaces, see: https://at.projects.genivi.org/wiki/display/WIE/Summary+of+Layer+manager+APIs Offers a stable API for writing IVI-controller modules like hmi-controller.so against the IVI concepts. In other words, it offers an API to write IVI window manager modules. - hmi-controller.so: A sample implementation of an IVI-controller module, usually replaced by IVI system vendors. Uses ivi-layout.so to perform essentially window manager tasks. This implementation keeps all window management inside the module, while IVI-systems may use another module that exposes all window management via Wayland or other protocol for an external process to control. - ivi-hmi-controller.xml: Wayland protocol extension for IVI display control; the private shell protocol for weston-ivi-shell-user-interface client (the same concept as desktop-shell.xml). Implemented by hmi-controller.so, and usually replaced by IVI system vendors. - weston-ivi-shell-user-interface: A sample implementation of an IVI shell helper client, usually replaced by IVI system vendors. A helper client for basic display content, similar to weston-desktop-shell. How to compile: same as weston. To disable, use option: --disable-ivi-shell for configure. How to configure weston.ini: reference ini file will be generated in <build_dir>/ivi-shell. How to run: same as weston. exec weston.
