Its purpose is to let a program choose an OpenGL API and native window-system binding at runtime, so the same test or tool can run against combinations such as GLX, X11/EGL, Wayland/EGL, GBM, surfaceless EGL, or experimental non-Linux backends. ### Projektgeschichte The project was public in the Mesa and Piglit orbit by 2012: the Waffle website records a presentation by Chad Versace at the 2012 X Developer's Conference, and the October 2012 Waffle 1.1.0 announcement described the library as API- and ABI-compatible with Waffle 1.0 while adding GBM, experimental Android support, and manpage documentation. Waffle's upstream home is now the Mesa namespace on freedesktop.org GitLab. The older GitHub organization is kept as an archive and points contributors to the freedesktop.org repository, which matches Waffle's role as plumbing for Mesa-adjacent graphics testing rather than a standalone developer product. ### Wie es verwendet wird Waffle is mainly used by graphics tests and diagnostics that need to create GL contexts without committing at build time to one window system. The accompanying `wflinfo` command is the visible CLI entry point, while library consumers use the C API to initialize a platform, choose a config, create contexts and windows, and, on selected platforms, retrieve backing native objects when they need behavior outside Waffle's abstraction. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Its significance is niche but real: Waffle sits in the awkward layer between OpenGL APIs and native window systems, exactly where Mesa and Piglit need repeatable testing across driver stacks. Package maintainers tend to encounter it as a dependency of graphics conformance and regression-test tooling, not as a general-purpose GUI library. ### Zeitleiste - 2012: Waffle was presented at XDC 2012 and Waffle 1.1.0 was announced on the freedesktop.org Piglit and Mesa mailing lists. - 2012 onward: the project focused on enabling Piglit to select GL API and window-system combinations at runtime. - 2020s: development and issue tracking live under the Mesa project on freedesktop.org GitLab, with GitHub preserved as an archive. ### Related projects - Piglit is the closest related project: Waffle's README and website both describe enabling Piglit, Mesa's OpenGL test suite, as the immediate goal. APITrace is also named in the README as a future-facing related tool for recording and replaying OpenGL calls across systems. ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger-Risiko:** yellow / mittel - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - libwaffle-1-0 - 1.8.1-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libwaffle-1-0 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Waffle library (binaries) | https://waffle.freedesktop.org/ - Debian apt - libwaffle-dev - 1.8.1-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libwaffle-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Waffle library (development files) | https://waffle.freedesktop.org/ - Debian apt - libwaffle-doc - 1.8.1-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libwaffle-doc from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Waffle library (documentation) | https://waffle.freedesktop.org/ - Debian apt - waffle-utils - 1.8.1-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: waffle-utils from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Waffle library (utilities) | https://waffle.freedesktop.org/ - Nix - waffle: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/wa/waffle/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - libwaffle-1-0 - 1.8.0-2build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libwaffle-1-0 from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Waffle library (binaries) | https://waffle.freedesktop.org/ - Ubuntu apt - libwaffle-dev - 1.8.0-2build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libwaffle-dev from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Waffle library (development files) | https://waffle.freedesktop.org/ - Ubuntu apt - libwaffle-doc - 1.8.0-2build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libwaffle-doc from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Waffle library (documentation) | https://waffle.freedesktop.org/ - Ubuntu apt - waffle-utils - 1.8.0-2build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: waffle-utils from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Waffle library (utilities) | https://waffle.freedesktop.org/ - apk - waffle - 1.8.2-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: waffle from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | C library for selecting an OpenGL API and window system at runtime | https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/waffle - apk - waffle-bash-completion - 1.8.2-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: waffle-bash-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Bash completions for waffle | https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/waffle - apk - waffle-dev - 1.8.2-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: waffle-dev from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | C library for selecting an OpenGL API and window system at runtime (development files) | https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/waffle - apk - waffle-doc - 1.8.2-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: waffle-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | C library for selecting an OpenGL API and window system at runtime (documentation) | https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/waffle - apk - waffle-zsh-completion - 1.8.2-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: waffle-zsh-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Zsh completions for waffle | https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/waffle - dnf - waffle - 1.8.1-1.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: waffle from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | Platform independent GL API layer | http://www.waffle-gl.org/releases.html - dnf - waffle-devel - 1.8.1-1.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: waffle-devel from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | Development headers and libraries for waffle | http://www.waffle-gl.org/releases.html ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
