If you haven't seen it, wlroots is the compositor library created by the same people who built sway to implement a few things that weren't possible with wlc.
- Basic (low! level) bindings to wlroots functionality
- (Re)implementation of basic examples. This is mostly to test
- cabal project to track updated dependencies (I had to expose a bit of functionality, this isn't upstreamed yet).
- Complete
- well documented
- Abstracting
This one is semi-intentional. This library is intended to expose pointers as they are, so it can be used with other middlewares etc.
- In a good functional style
I mainly created this to support my own endavours. This implies that I will somewhat selectivly add to this as I need it in any project based on this.
Should you be interested in using this and feel like there's a feature missing, I will always appreciate PRs, and will aim to implemented feature requests in a timely manner.
- Install
wlrootswith the instructions provided in their Readme git clone --recursive https://github.com/swaywm/hsrootscd hsrootscabal new-build
This should download all dependencies needed for hsroots and build it together with the examples provided in this repository.
