The compilation of the program weston-launcher is currently disabled, so
the only way to launch Weston (on framebuffer) is to execute (as root):
$ openvt -c 2 -s -- weston \
--backend=/usr/lib/weston/fbdev-backend.so \
--tty=2 \
--log=/tmp/weston.log
Unfortunately you will only end up with a black screen. The reason is
given in the log file:
/dev/tty2 is already in graphics mode, is another display server running?
Here is the fix from upcoming version 1.4.

Needs three patches from upstream, plus a custom patch to disable tests.
Drop old patches, all applied upstream or no longer needed.

The way the compositor was selected in Config.in was counter-intuitive,
because the fbdev backend is selected by default even if a different one
is available.
Instead, select the fbdev backend only if no other one was selected by
the user.

Procedure highly inspired by:
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/raspberrypi.html
The resulting weston works almost flawlessly, but requires a bit
of love:
- /boot/config.txt must include this line: dispmanx_offline=1
- at least 128MiB of RAM must be allocated to the GPU
- after 24-or-so terminal-clients are connected, the screen
turns black. Exiting a client restores the screen
It seems increasing/decreasing the amount of memory allocated to
the GPU makes the clients limit to wobble above/below 24 clients
at a time. YMMV, as they say...
Without dispmanx_offline=1, the limit is much below 24, at around 13.
But changing the amount of memory allocated to the GPU does not change
this limit in this case. YMMV, again.
Anyway, there are not many different clients available, besides the
terminal client, since all other clients are EGL-based, and there
is (yet) no EGL support (for weston!) on the RPi. So the tests were
made only with the terminal client.
The system is rather smooth, but spwaning too many clients in a
rapid-fire is sure to exhibit some lag. Resizing windows is a bit
jerky, but moving them along is fine.
Note: the config option has a depends on THREADS due to rpi-userland,
even though weston itself already inherits the same dependency from
wayland. But better be clean and safe.

configure whines while checking for wayland-scanner.
wayland-scanner is used to generate the protocol parser C files from
the protocol definition XML files.
weston has a hard-dependency on wayland-scanner, so it can regenerate
its shell/mouse/keyboard/... "handlers".
Since we're using a tarball, those protocol files are already generated
and up-to-date, but the check is hard-coded and unconditional. If
wayland-scanner is missing, configure fails.
We could well patch away this check, but we'd have to carry and maintain
it probably for ever.
Better to fix it: add a patch from upstream weston to fix configure
whining.

Even with EGL disabled, weston-1.2.2 still tries to build the
simple EGL clients, so they need to be explicitly disabled.

weston's configure.ac uses PKG_CHECK_MODULES,
so it needs to depend on host-pkgconf.

The weston package uses the $(WAYLAND_VERSION) variable instead of
$(WESTON_VERSION).
This went unnoticed for now, as we were using the same version for
wayland and weston. But that's not always the case, since we have,
for example: wayland-1.2.1 and weston-1.2.2, and no wayland-1.2.2.
Fix this by using the correct variable.
