Ability to Force the Use of wgpu-only Through Feature Flag about floem HOT 4 OPEN

Upon investigation, the reason tiny_skia is not usable is that it has a dependency on softbuffer. By default, softbuffer has the following features enabled: ["kms", "x11", "x11-dlopen", "wayland", "wayland-dlopen"].

The kms feature, in turn, depends on drm, which requires the use_bindgen feature to be enabled for successful compilation. This is the root cause of the issue we are facing.

Is there a way to enforce the use of wgpu only, bypassing the problematic tiny_skia dependency, particularly on the riscv64 architecture?

Why can't you just build it with tiny_skia?

This should be fixed once Smithay/drm-rs#176 lands

otherwise adding dependency with bindgen feature fixes that as well

[dependencies]
drm-sys = { version = "*", features = ["use_bindgen"] }

Ah, this isn't something I considered when we merged the kms backend in softbuffer.

Using softbuffer with default-features = false to leave out the kms feature would be reasonable. It isn't very useful yet since kms support isn't merged in winit yet (rust-windowing/winit#2795).
