wlroots
Pluggable, composable modules for building a Wayland compositor.
This is a WIP: status
Contributing
See CONTRIBUTING.md
Building
Install dependencies:
- wayland
- wayland-protocols
- EGL
- GLESv2
- DRM
- GBM
- libinput
- udev
- pixman
- systemd (optional, for logind support)
- elogind (optional, for logind support on systems without systemd)
- libcap (optional, for capability support)
- asciidoc (optional, for man pages)
Run these commands:
meson build
ninja -C build
(On FreeBSD, you need to pass an extra flag to prevent a linking error: meson build -D b_lundef=false
)
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
Now you can run windows in the compositor from the command line or by
configuring bindings in your
rootston.ini
file.
