Re: Detecting the gdk backend

[Luca Bacci <luca bacci982 gmail com>]

Hi! There is some reference code here:
https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/stable/gdk3-Wayland-Interaction.html
https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/stable/gdk3-X-Window-System-Interaction.html

   - Include the backend specific headers: gdk/gdkx.h, gdk/gdkwayland.h
   - Link with backend specific libs: gdk-x11-3.0.pc, gdk-wayland-3.0.pc
   - Check the backend for the default display: if
   (GDK_IS_X11_DISPLAY(gdk_display_get_default())) { /*...*/ }

Here is an example:

/* compile with
cc -o print-gdk-backend print-gdk-backend.c \
$(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0 gdk-x11-3.0 gdk-wayland-3.0)
*/

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>
#endif
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_WAYLAND
#include <gdk/gdkwayland.h>
#endif
/*
   GDK_WINDOWING macros are defined in header
   /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdkconfig.h
*/

int main() {
  gtk_init(NULL, NULL);

#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11
  if (GDK_IS_X11_DISPLAY(gdk_display_get_default())) {
    g_print("X11 backend\n");
  }
#endif
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_WAYLAND
  if (GDK_IS_WAYLAND_DISPLAY(gdk_display_get_default())) {
    g_print("Wayland backend\n");
  }
#endif

  return 0;
}
