{lib}[GCCcore/9.3.0] Qt5 v5.14.1: disable qtwayland

[jhein32]

Building the qtwayland component gives grief on (some?) Centos 7 systems. Changed config to disable qtwayland being build

[jhein32]

@akesandgren Åke any comment from your side on disabling qtwayland? From the discussion we had (LUNARC) it seems to me, it might be important for a coffeebean Linux distribution (aka. Ubuntu)

[akesandgren]

don't really know, don't know what it is used for.

Hi @akesandgren thanks for getting back. It is my current understanding that it's idea is to be an alternative to X11. Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol)#Desktop_Linux_distributions, it seems that Ubuntu has at least for now moved back to X11.

Any one got any idea about what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol)#Desktop_Linux_distributions says on Centos 8?

We discussed this briefly during today's EasyBuild conference call, and we all agreed it makes sense to disable qtwayland in the Qt5 easyconfigs. The only reason it gets built is because Qt5 happens to find the required dependencies in the OS, but several of those are not provided through EasyBuild, so hard disabling qtwayland makes sense...
