| --[ UPDATING ] ----------------- |
| To update, change the commit hash with the most recent hash as mentioned on |
| the official repo inside the DEPS file. |
| You need to have clang (//third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin), |
| and meson (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/releases) in your path. |
| Then do gclient sync which will align your local Weston folder with the most |
| recent one as mentioned in the hash. Then run the generate_configs.py script |
| to generate and update necessary config files. To compile weston, pass the |
| following GN arguments while generating build files, since gn gen is meant |
| to generate ninja files not gn ones. |
| use_ozone = true use_bundled_weston = true |
| |
| Finally, compile-test the Weston target. |
| Steps to be followed: |
| gclient sync |
| python3 third_party/weston/generate_configs.py |
| autoninja out/build_dir weston |
| |
| To update the weston to the version present upstream, change the commit hash |
| inside url in the 'src/third_party/weston/src' field with the most recent one in |
| DEPS file. Then follow the above steps to compile the updated weston. |
