Wayland McWayface

⚠️ Out-of-date material

This example compositor doesn't work with the latest wlroots API and won't be updated. Please don't use it. Instead, please use tinywl as a reference.

This is a demonstration Wayland compositor that accompanies a series of blog posts written for drewdevault.com.

• Part 1: Hello wlroots
• Part 2: Rigging up the server
• Part 3: Rendering a window (you are here)

Compiling

mkdir build
cd build
meson ..
ninja

This will produce a binary named mcwayface, this is your compositor. Run it without any arguments.
