Running bevy 0.18 with x11 in linux mint/ubuntu, nice way to turn off wayland

[dougli1sqrd]

Hello, I'm following the quick-start guide and also trying to run examples and it looks like bevy is assuming I have wayland by default, but I have x11 on my ubuntu/mint linux machine. I've got something working in my own project by setting default-features = false and then attempting to list all features that do not include wayland, which is like 20 features or so. I can't use any of the higher level profiles since they will still include wayland by default.

I'm having a similar issue when trying to run the bevy examples. I've cloned bevy, and checked out the same version I depend on and running cargo run --example 2d_shapes generates the same wayland error that I found when building my own project. So to ensure wayland is not included, I have to invoke cargo run --example ... with a huge list of features that ensure I don't include wayland. Ha this is very tedious.

Am I crazy? Is this what I'm supposed to do? How do I turn off wayland and only include x11? I tried searching for others with this issue, but haven't found much out there.

The wayland error I'm getting:

error: failed to run custom build command for `wayland-sys v0.31.11`

  The system library `wayland-client` required by crate `wayland-sys` was not found.
  The file `wayland-client.pc` needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory.
  The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is not set.

  HINT: if you have installed the library, try setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory containing `wayland-client.pc`.

Thanks for any help!

i recently migrated from wayland to x11 and hit the same issue. i was missing some dependencies listed in linux_dependencies.md
