## Running the Reference Compositor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wlroots comes with a reference compositor called rootston that demonstrates the
|
|
|
|
|
features of the library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After building, run rootston from a terminal or VT with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./build/rootston/rootston
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-11-16 20:59:12 +00:00
|
|
|
Now you can run windows in the compositor from the command line or by
|
|
|
|
|
configuring bindings in your
|
|
|
|
|
[`rootston.ini`](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/blob/master/rootston/rootston.ini.example)
