How To Install wlcs on Fedora 36

In this tutorial we learn how to install wlcs in Fedora 36. wlcs is Wayland Conformance Test Suite

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install wlcs on Fedora 36.

What is wlcs

wlcs aspires to be a protocol-conformance-verifying test suite usable by Wayland compositor implementors. It is growing out of porting the existing Weston test suite to be run in Mir’s test suite, but it is designed to be usable by any compositor. wlcs relies on compositors providing an integration module, providing wlcs with API hooks to start a compositor, connect a client, move a window, and so on. This makes both writing and debugging tests easier - the tests are (generally) in the same address space as the compositor, so there is a consistent global clock available, it’s easier to poke around in compositor internals, and standard debugging tools can follow control flow from the test client to the compositor and back again.
