## Rationale
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and [i3way](http://i3way.org/) still has
|
|
|
|
|
zero lines of source code after two years.

|
|

## Compile / Install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* cmake
|
|
|
|
|
* [wlc](https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc)
|
|
|
|
|
* xkb
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notably missing: weston is not required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cmake .
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
# sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Binary shows up in `./bin` (or `/usr/bin` if you `make install`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir ~/.sway
|
|
|
|
|
cp ~/.i3/config ~/.sway/config
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
## Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sway
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you run this while xorg is running, it'll run inside of an x window (useful
|
|
|
|
|
for testing). Otherwise, it'll run wayland properly.
