Wading into a flame

Spent the afternoon building X11, Wayland, Weston etc.. Got past many issues except the last bit - weston. Weston is the reference compositor. It depends on a number of things include libudev. And that's where we run into a big problem. libudev is part of systemd, which for some reason depends on intltool. intltool by itself does not advertise it but requires gettext!

So, basically if you want a nice graphical compositor you need internationalization work.  One more vote for udev to split from systemd.
