+From 11bf7d5d11424749d549239540e5db06b8754bb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Kenny Levinsen <kl@kl.wtf>
+Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2021 20:16:19 +0200
+Subject: [PATCH] meson: Support building builtin without seatd
+
+The builtin backend relies on the seatd backend implementation. When
+builtin was enabled without seatd, compilation would fail due to the
+implementation not being included.
+
+Include the implementation if either seatd or builtin is enabled.
+
+Signed-off-by: Adrian Perez de Castro <aperez@igalia.com>
+Upstream-Status: backport [with adaptations]
