Description

At the moment we do not build on illumos. illumos and Solaris use X11; I don't think there has been much effort to port Wayland to illumos yet.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing platform and build support, then inspect the linked Smithay/wayland-rs issue 739 to determine the available X11 path for illumos. Done means winit builds on illumos and its relevant windowing functionality works there; the issue names no files or tests.
