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
.
Remove libcanberra if you get segmentation faults when running gtk applications. A fix for these segfaults has been committed as of 9 Nov 2012, so presumably as soon as 0.31.0 comes out, this should not be necessary anymore. The AUR contains a working git based libcanberra-gitAUR if you want to keep the functionality.
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 in the master branch of the main repo and can be activated by passing --with-flavour=wayland
to the configure script.
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.
EFL
EFL has complete Wayland support. Please see here for details.
Window managers and desktop shells
KDE
There is early work to make it possible to run KWin (KDE's window manager) on Wayland.
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
$ pacman -S libffi $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland $ cd wayland $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local $ make $ make install
DRM and Mesa
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm $ cd drm $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local $ make $ make install
$ 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
xorg-macros
$ git clone http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/util/macros.git $ cd macros/ $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/ $ make $ make install
libxkbcommon
$ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxkbcommon.git $ cd libxkbcommon/ $ export ACLOCAL_PATH=/usr/local/share/aclocal/ $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/ --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/local/share/X11/xkb $ make $ make install
pixman
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/pixman $ cd pixman/ $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/ $ 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
xkb files
Either
a) Copy from an existing system a set of xkb layouts
$ scp -r /usr/share/X11/xkb to /usr/local/share/X11/
or
b) build xkeyboard-config
from git with --prefix=/usr/local
and --disable-runtime-deps
weston
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston $ cd weston/ $ CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/libdrm/ -DMESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/ --with-cairo-glesv2 --disable-xwayland --disable-x11-compositor --disable- xwayland-test $ make $ make install
