Wayland is a new windowing protocol for Linux. Utilization of Wayland requires changes to and re-installation of parts of your system's software. For more information on Wayland see its homepage.
Contents
Requirements
Currently Wayland will only work with on a system that is utilizing KMS.
Installation
Wayland is most probably installed on your system already as it is an indirect dependency of gtk2 and gtk3. If it is not installed, you will find the wayland package in extra.
Usage
As Wayland is only a library, it is useless on its own. To use it, you need a compositor (like Weston), Weston demo applications, Qt5 with Wayland plugin, and/or GTK+ with Wayland support.
Weston
Installation
You need to install weston from community.
Usage
Now that Wayland and its requirements are installed you should be ready to test it out. Try switching to a terminal and running:
$ weston-launch
You may also try exporting the following, if having problems with hardware drivers:
$ export EGL_DRIVER=/usr/lib/egl/egl_gallium.so
It is possible to run Weston inside a running X session:
$ weston
Then at a TTY you can run the demos. To launch a terminal emulator:
$ weston-terminal
To move flowers around the screen:
$ weston-flower
To test the frame protocol (runs glxgears):
$ weston-gears
To display images:
$ weston-image image1.jpg image2.jpg...
To display PDF Files:
$ weston-view doc1.pdf doc2.pdf...
GUI libraries
GTK+
You need to install gtk3 from extra, which now has the Wayland backend enabled.
With GTK+ 3.0, GTK+ gained support for multiple backends at runtime and can switch between backends in the same way Qt can with lighthouse.
When both Wayland and X backends are enabled, GTK+ will default to the X11 backend, but this can be overridden by setting the GDK_BACKEND environment variable to wayland.
Qt5
You need to install qt5-base and the wayland plugin - qt5-qtwayland-gitAUR.
To run a Qt5 app with the Wayland plugin, set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl.
Clutter
The Clutter toolkit has a Wayland backend that allows it to run as a Wayland client. The backend is enabled in the official package in extra.
To run a Clutter app on Wayland, you need to set CLUTTER_BACKEND environment variable to wayland.
SDL
Benjamin Franzke is working on a port of SDL to Wayland, it's available in his sdl-wayland repo on freedesktop.org. Further development upon Benjamins work was done by Andre Heider in his wayland branch of libsdl. Scott Moreau picked up where others left and fixed the library to work with 1.0 protocol. You can find his work in wayland branch of SDL repository.
To run a SDL application on Wayland, you need to set SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable to wayland.
EFL
EFL has complete Wayland support. Please see here for details.
Window managers and desktop shells
KDE
KDE 4.11 beta supports starting KWin under Wayland system compositor. There is currently no support for using KWin as a session compositor.
GNOME
GNOME is currently ported to Wayland and will be available in a future version. For details look into the GNOME Wiki.
Pure Wayland
First install a base Arch Linux install with base and base-devel. Do not install xorg or any of its libraries
Wayland, DRM, Pixman, libxkbcommon
$ pacman -S wayland libdrm pixman libxkbcommon
Mesa
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa $ cd mesa $ CFLAGS=-DMESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gles2 --disable-gallium-egl --with-egl-platforms=wayland,drm --enable-gbm --enable-shared-glapi --with-gallium-drivers=r300,r600,swrast,nouveau --disable-glx --disable-xlib $ make $ make install
cairo
Note - no glx/gl or xcb - EGL only.
$ pacman -S libpng $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/cairo $ cd cairo $ CFLAGS=-DMESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/ --disable-xcb --enable-glesv2 $ make $ make install
weston
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston $ cd weston/ $ CFLAGS="-DMESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/ --with-cairo-glesv2 --disable-xwayland --disable-x11-compositor --disable-xwayland-test $ make $ make install
