  • [gentoo-dev] [PATCH 2/2] x11-libs/wxGTK: egl USE flag for OpenGL on Way

    From Rafael Kitover@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 10 17:50:01 2023
    EGL is the only available OpenGL support on Wayland, so add the egl USE
    flag and do not add --disable-glcanvasegl to configure args if it is
    enabled.

    Explain the rationale for GLX being the default and the egl USE flag, as
    well as the upstream issue link to improve the situation in the ebuild comments.

    Please tag the kicad bug which kicked this off with Bug:, as well as
    any other relevant ones.

    We want to try not make the same mistake as the original commits
    which caused all this fuss, so more detail in the commit messages
    would be good (although yours reads fine, just saying if you can
    think of anything else).
