Is vkvg Wayland-native like Cairo-gl? about vkvg HOT 7 OPEN

I've made some test on wayland today, and there is no problem, and it's quiet faster than under X.

True, I ran some tests too. Now I'm studying what can be ported from vkh to vkvg to mimic the behaviour of cairo-gl. I see your tests/common/test.c and tests/common/vkengine.c are quite useful to understand the structure of a program which draws to an on-screen surface. It's quite simpler than Vulkan's HelloTriangle haha.

GLFW handles natively wayland...

Yeah it's amazing, I didn't even have to recompile or link against Wayland.

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Vulkan-Wayland-Compositor-Near : there are some efforts to make vulan-wayland bridges, this should pose no problems to create a wayland surface with vkvg, it's surely a good task to put on the roadmap...

Thanks, it's great to see that! However I was talking about Wayland clients, I saw in this Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/gs8wy7/vulkan_and_egl/fsk0d8d that it seems to be possible to draw with Vulkan on Wayland surfaces without EGL, here is some code https://github.com/krOoze/Hello_Triangle/blob/master/src/WSI/Wayland.h

I've not included vkengine in vkh because of glfw dependancy, but I use it everywhere. Maybe I should include it to vkh and add a build option. Or maybe make a separate git repo for vkengine and build it with cmake as an object library...

What about integrating it to vkh and adding a build option to include the GLFW-dependent code?

Yes, it would be better than to copy vkengine.* each time I start a vulkan app.
