IAS Wayland compositor
======================
IAS stands for Intel Automotive Solution compositor for Wayland(R). As the name suggests, it is a Wayland compositor for automotive specific segment. The main idea behind IAS is to show case Intel's GPU and display controller capabilties. Open source Weston has 4 major components. The shell, the core, the backend and the renderer. IAS' goal is to reuse as much of Weston as possible, so we strive to keep the core and renderer as close to open source Weston as possible. The shell was rewritten for automotive needs and is called IAS shell. Same thing is true for the backend which tries to utilize HW capabilities found on Intel SoCs. While there are many capabilities unique to IAS, some of the salient ones include surface sharing between multiple virtual machines as well as remote display which allows for surface sharing between multiple SoCs.
The following build options should be used to compile IAS:
- Meson way:
meson builddir/ ninja -C builddir/ install
You can specify a prefix if you wish all the binaries to be installed in a non standard location. For example: meson builddir/ --prefix=<some_path>
Options to meson can be specified like this: meson builddir/ -D<option_name>= For example: meson builddir/ -Denable-hyper-dmabuf=false
For a complete list of options and their default values, please read meson_options.txt
- Autotools way:
./autogen.sh --disable-setuid-install
--enable-ias-shell
--disable-xkbcommon
--enable-simple-clients
--enable-clients
--disable-wayland-compositor
--disable-libunwind
--disable-xwayland
--disable-xwayland-test
--disable-x11-compositor
--disable-rpi-compositor
--enable-ivi-plugin-manager
--enable-layer-manager-control
--disable-tracing
--enable-shadergen
--enable-autotools
For a complete list of flags that you can provide with autogen.sh, please go to IAS folder and run: ./configure --help
After the successful completion of the above autogen.sh step: make -j make install
Note that this is the last release with autotools support. It will be dropped and meson will be the only build option in the future.
