Installation

Distribution-specific packages are currently only available for Arch through the AUR.

Users on other distributions must build waywall from source.

Building from source

waywall is written in C and uses the Meson build system, so you will need to install a C toolchain and meson if they are not already on your system.

You will also need to install the following dependencies from your distribution's package repositories:

  • egl
  • glesv2
  • luajit
  • spng
  • wayland-client
  • wayland-cursor
  • wayland-egl
  • wayland-protocols
  • wayland-server
  • xcb
  • xcb-composite
  • xcb-res
  • xcb-xtest
  • xwayland
  • xkbcommon

Many distributions, such as Fedora and Debian, split the "development files" (e.g. pkg-config data and C headers) into separate -dev or -devel packages. Make sure to find and install these in addition to the normal versions.

Compiling

You can download and build a copy of waywall with the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/tesselslate/waywall
cd waywall
make

The compiled binary will be located at build/waywall/waywall. If you'd like, you can move it to somewhere on your $PATH.
