By changing the selection of a WSI platform from a build time choice to a runtime choice, this allows the removal of vkcube-wayland as a separate binary. Use `--wsi <platform>` to choose the WSI platform that vkcube will render with. The chosen platform must be one that vkcube was compiled with support for, so directfb will be unavailable without changing the build parameters to enable it. These changes have been made to both vkcube and vkcubepp. This includes enabling VK_KHR_display where applicable, which is supported on linux and windows at the current time.
The docs lists 3.10 as a minimum required but only used 3.7 in github actions.

This:
is an incorrect assumption. Windows does have direct to display, as pointed out in the description of #307 . From a quick skim of the changes that were committed, it appears that the changes to CMakeLists.txt preclude selecting direct display on Windows. @charles-lunarg , do you need me to file a new github issue for fixing that, or can a fix be included within the context of the existing issues? |
Was such a big assumption that I found that out during development of the PR. Unfortunately, the commit message wasn't corrected after I changed the code to reflect the reality of DISPLAY being available on windows. Instead I will double check that the option is present on windows, and if not, rectify that with a subsequent PR. |

I just ran vkcube locally with the changes incorporated, both win32 and display were available as runtime options. The display option didn't work because I was running inside a VM with lavapipe as the sole driver, so if changes are needed to make display work on windows, let me know. Otherwise I don't think there is any reasonable way to fix the git commit message without force pushing to main. That occurred because the initial version of the PR did preclude windows, but when it was addressed the commit message wasn't altered. |

Use
--wsi <xlib|xcb|wayland|display|directfb>to choose the WSI platform that vkcube will render with. The chosen platform must be one that vkcube was compiled with support for, so directfb will be unavailable without changing the build parameters to enable it.These changes have been made to both vkcube and vkcubepp.
Platforms which do not have multiple WSI platforms, such as windows, android, and apple (metal is the only non-deprecated platform) do not have this option as there aren't any platforms to choose from.
