Hi Mir developers,

I asked "Is there someone want to play with gdk mir backend only just
for fun" via
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/mir-devel/2013-June/000192.html

And right now I only copied Gtk Wayland backend source code then mv to
Mir https://launchpad.net/gtk3mir

There are a lot of replacement stuff wl_xxx to mir_xxx, so I need you :)

Hey Leslie,

really happy to hear that you have started on wiring up GTK to Mir :-)
I'm happy to help out where possible, although I'm less familiar with
GTK's platform abstraction layer. However, having browsed through the
code, you seem to have done a great job in:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xiangzhai83/gtk3mir/trunk/view/head:/gdk/mir/gdkdisplay-mir.c

already. Can you confirm that you are able to acquire an EGL context?
If so, is there some simple gtk3 example that just renders to the
screen? My intention here is to validate that we have the rendering
piece hooked up before we move on to input.

Thanks again, really happy to see this work being started,

  Thomas

Awesome! I might be able to find some time to help later this week (no
promises!). Definitely willing to help with any questions, etc though.

Thanks for taking the initiative to start something!

Cheers,
Robert

Leslie,

I suggest you will get the best answers by posting individual questions 
directly to mir-devel, rather than pointing people to a whole source tree.

Hey Leslie,

anything we can help with right now? Did you succeed in running the
GTK3 examples?

Thanks,

  Thomas
