mgba-qt doesn't work in Wayland #2190

@jiangzhengwenjz

Description

@jiangzhengwenjz

Platform: Fedora 34 workstation (gcc 11.1.1-1)
Versions being tested: 86ec2d4 & 2d87cc1 (HEAD of master & 0.9)

The executables and libraries can be compiled and installed fine but mgba-qt simply doesn't work for me.

Here's what happened when I'm using XORG GNOME:
https://streamable.com/wi3h0a
(the terminal shows SDL Audio: Could not open SDL sound system) -> and audio won't play

And when I select GNOME (Wayland? ), the program reacts very differently. Before loading the ROM:
Imgur
After:
Imgur
And if you load the ROM again, it will result in a segmentation fault.
The audio is playing fine in this case.


Update May 18:
In Xorg it's working under unknown situations, tested 3 times (in 3 different sessions) and it's whitescreen -> flawless -> whitescreen. It's likely GNOME's fault so the problem is probably only for Wayland.


On the contrary, the SDL version is always working fine on my machine.
