You can also run a nested compositor if you run the compositor on the wayland platform plugin. Generally this is going to be either eglfs, kms, or if you want to run in X11 xcb.
These examples represent the server side of Wayland, so they do not use the wayland platform plugin, but rather whatever platform you need to run on. You may need to explicitly build them (depending on how you configured Qt): These are built in the examples folder of the QtWayland module. The QtWayland module provides a couple of example compositors that demonstrate how the Qt Wayland Compositor API works. application Create and Run your own Wayland Compositor with Qt5 Running example compositors application -platform waylandor: export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland Regardless the only thing you need to do as an application developer to run your GUI application as a wayland client is tell the application to use the right platform plugin:
This could be either the Weston reference compositor provided by the Wayland project, or a Qt example compositor provided by QtWayland. To use it you must first already have a Wayland compositor running. When you build the QtWayland module, you should get a new platform plugin for wayland.

Once you have a working build of Qt 5, then pull down the latest QtWayland module code and configure with "qmake". The modules you need at the very least are: You need Qt5.8 or newer for the compositor API. The following packages are required (list may be incomplete) Ubuntu 14.04 contains all necessary dependencies, so it is no longer necessary to build Wayland yourself. Qt Wayland Repo How do I build QtWayland? Ubuntu 14.04 You can however also build it from source yourself in case you want to use the development version or apply custom patches. Beware that distros may ship really old versions of Qt though, and the compositor API was first released as stable with Qt 5.8. qtwaylandclient5 and qtwaylandcompositor5-dev (Ubuntu 17.10). qt5-wayland (Arch Linux), or two separate packages, i.e. If you are using Qt provided by your Linux distribution there is most likely a separate package for Qt Wayland, i.e. the Qt installer should include binaries for Qt Wayland. For more detailed information you should visit the Wayland project homepage How can I get binaries for Qt Wayland? Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a C library implementation of that protocol. The server side is the Qt Wayland Compositor API, and allows users to write their own Wayland compositors. The client side is the wayland platform plugin, and provides a way to run Qt applications as Wayland clients. QtWayland is separated into a client and server side. QtWayland is a Qt 5 module that wraps the functionality of Wayland. 6.2 Create and Run your own Wayland Compositor with Qt5.6.1 Run Qt applications as Wayland clients.4 Where can I find the code for QtWayland?.3 How can I get binaries for Qt Wayland?.
