## 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run windows on the compositor with the display variable set:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
# run gtk apps like this
|
|
|
|
|
gnome-calculator --display=wayland-0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# run QT apps like this
|
|
|
|
|
qgit -platform wayland
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# run X11 apps like this
|
|
|
|
|
DISPLAY=:1 firefox
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
