mutter fails to configure on a wayland-only distro configuration:
Run-time dependency gl found: NO (tried pkg-config and system)
../sources/mutter-50.4/meson.build:191:11: ERROR: Dependency "gl" not found (tried pkg-config and system)
The recipe enabled the opengl PACKAGECONFIG unconditionally, which
passes -Dopengl=true and makes meson require desktop OpenGL:
have_gl = get_option('opengl')
if have_gl
gl_dep = dependency('gl')
Desktop GL is not available here. libGL.so and gl.pc are products of
mesa's GLX library - see FILES:libgl-mesa-dev in mesa.inc - and mesa
only builds GLX when its x11 PACKAGECONFIG is on, since
PACKAGECONFIG[x11] passes -Dglx=disabled when it is off. Without x11 in
DISTRO_FEATURES mesa is therefore configured -Dopengl=true -Dglx=disabled
-Dplatforms='wayland' and stages only egl.pc, glesv1_cm.pc and
glesv2.pc, with no libGL and no gl.pc.
The dependency looked satisfied because mesa PROVIDES virtual/libgl
unconditionally, so the virtual/libgl entry in PACKAGECONFIG[opengl]
resolves at the bitbake level even though nothing ever lands in the
sysroot. mesa also installs the GL/*.h headers regardless of GLX, so
meson's 'system' fallback clears the header probe before failing on the
missing library.
mutter builds fine against GLESv2 alone - it only errors out if neither
GL nor GLES2 is enabled - and egl plus gles2 are already enabled here,
which is the usual configuration for a wayland-only compositor. Gate
opengl on x11 so it follows the same condition that decides whether
desktop GL exists at all; x11 builds are unaffected.
