Right now, we are adding systemd and elogind backends to the build system as soon as their libraries are found on the build system. Instead, we should only add them if the libraries have been found _and_ the user has actually requested them to be included. |

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.
