Psi 1.5 is not compatible with wayland

[pinaraf]

Using Psi 1.5 under wayland leads to crashes through the focus stealing prevention code.
This code was removed from psi+ in commit e155a9d but this commit did not reach the psi 1.5 release.

OS: Debian with KDE Plasma Wayland

Psi Version: 1.5

In case of app crash please provide back trace (start debug version in gdb).

Note : the HAVE_X11 wrapping code is wrong. Qt can be compiled for both X11 and Wayland, thus HAVE_X11=1 while running without X11.

Thanks for the report. We are not planning to further support 1.x branch.
So for now one can use a nightly build till 2.0 is released.

And yes I agree we need more dynamic detection and not HAVE_X11.

Latest master (83a8dfb) builds and works fine for me on swaywm on Alpine.

doas apk add -t .psi-deps cmake qt5-qtbase-dev qca-dev qt5-qtmultimedia-dev qt5-qtsvg-dev qt5-qtx11extras-dev hunspell-dev
cmake -B builddir -DUSE_XSS=no
make -C builddir -j4
doas make -C builddir install DESTDIR=/

If you have screenshotplugin or videostatusplugin enabled you should disable both of them. Night versions works well with wayland without these plugins. Try USE_X11=OFF cmake flag.

[Ri0n]

USE_X11=OFF is not required. probably just plugins.
probably we should add platformName() checks there.

Hi, sorry to be that guy but do you have plans for 2.0 release (apart from https://github.com/psi-im/psi/milestone/3)? Or "it will be ready when it's ready"?
