Some popup appears to send debug info, but then the application exits. This is mentioned on their website (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2021.0.0/en.shtml) "Hugin does not run native on Wayland because of a bug in the underlying wxWidgets library. The source code contains a workaround which forces the usage of the XWayland emulation layer. This workaround has be activated during compiling by adding -DUSE_GDKBACKEND_X11=on to the CMake command line." This is a one-liner ebuild fix and I confirm that it works. Currently unclear if this can be added unconditionally Reproducible: Always
Sorry, Kobboi, could you please tell me where in the ebuild or in what way that line has to be added for Hugin to work? I know almost nothing about ebuild editing, and installing wxGTK version 3.2 Hugin still doesn't work. I decided to try and download an 3.2 ebuild from an overlay and install it, since the ebuild in portage is still 3.0, and see if a recent version solved the bug, but it didn't. So, I would be grateful if you could tell me what to do with that line "-DUSE_GDKBACKEND_X11=on". Paste it inside the ebuild and try to "ebuild [...] digest" doesn't work, as I supposed.

Paste it inside the ebuild and try to "ebuild > [...] digest" doesn't work, as I supposed. It's entered in the "mycmakeargs" list in the ebuild.

The letters look a bit blurry, but I guess that must be another poor implementation of Wayland in KDE Plasma that will be solved one of these lustrums, xD. At least it works now. \o/ Many thanks.
Hi, could the patch in the comments above be applied to the ebuild in the repository so that Hugin runs out of the box on Wayland systems? Many thanks.
Still required for 2022.0.0?
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #5) > Still required for 2022.0.0? Still crashing, yes
I can test+PR if you want.
x11-libs/wxGTK-3.2.1 is in the tree now, so can just build Hugin with that. Except Fast Panorama preview window needs glew built for EGL. Updated ebuilds for both: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/29559 Suspect they are not quite ready for the tree yet. But initial running of Hugin suggest they work.
Building glew for EGL would break other applications in the tree. But, I do think Hugin with wxGTK-3.2.1 fixes this bug.
Even with glew built for EGL there are still issues with Wayland. GDK_BACKEND=x11 still seems the way to go for now.
Could we just apply the -DUSE_GDKBACKEND_X11=on patch until we switch to wxGTK-3.2? As is, Hugin is broken out of the box for all Wayland users who don't find their way to this bug report, and Wayland is kind of mainstream now... (And I have to edit /var/db/repos/gentoo/media-gfx/hugin/hugin-*.ebuild and rebuild every time Hugin gets rebuilt. Which is why I'm reminded to comment here, hehe.)
