Compiling wezterm for CPU only system

[surmish]

Is there a way to compile wezterm to avoid OpenGL driver requirements? I understand on bringing up wezterm, the front_end=Software option may be used. Is that the only way to ensure CPU-only usage? Does any GPU related requirement show up during compile?

No, and that is not something that I plan to support.

You don't need a GPU to compile wezterm, but you do need something on your system that can translate from either OpenGL or WebGPU into something that can show on screen: that is provided by your system either via Mesa (and its software renderers) or your GPU drivers (for hardware).
