hwc

Hadi's Wayland Compositor

Note: This is not in a usable state right now and I am only creating this for learning/fun purposes. Go use a good compositor like hyprland, sway or river

Building

Install the following dependencies:

• zig 0.13
• lua (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, LuaJIT)
• wayland
• wayland-protocols
• wlroots 0.18
• xkbcommon
• libevdev
• libinput
• pixman
• pkg-config

Then run:

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe --prefix ~/.local/ install

Note: Traditionally, most programs install under the /usr prefix, requiring admin privileges. Feel free to do that to install hwc as a system binary. In the above, ~/.local/bin will be where the hwc binary will live. You many need to update your $PATH to include ~/.local/bin
