Created attachment 77280 [details] build log Tried compiling weston from git master. Used this command: (./autogen.sh --prefix="$WLD" && make && make install) | tee build-log.txt build-log.txt is attached. I heard there was a ``--disable-setuid-install`` config flag, but Darxus (on irc) said that he thought that installing as a non-root user into your home directory should just work (ie that it should be auto-detected, and the chown/setuid thing should be skipped.)
No, it's not supposed to work. weston-launch needs setuid root for correct operation and we're not going to install weston-launch in a way that doesn't work by default. You can run weston-launch using sudo or manually set the setuid bit, but in either case you need to pass --disable-setuid-install to indicate that you know what you're doing.
Is there any way to update the building page: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html with this info?
