Description Yaroslav Isakov 2020-07-21 23:34:02 UTC

Hello! I've found that gtk+:3 is using libepoxy to load OpenGL library, so there is no need to have mesa dependency. I cannot find any mentions of libGL in gtk sources and compiled libraries. Also, Ubuntu and Fedora packages does not have any mesa deps.

Comment 1 Yaroslav Isakov 2020-07-21 23:35:59 UTC

Probably, for wayland, gtk+ is also missing media-libs/libepoxy[egl] dep, but I'm not 100% sure.

Right now I have system with gtk[X] and without libGL.so and libGLX.so, and everything works, including gtkglarea example, firefox, chromium, other GTK apps.

Write some patches? :)

Comment 4 Yaroslav Isakov 2023-07-14 18:07:26 UTC

Looks like mesa[X] dep was dropped some time ago, so, closing this ticket
