The `export` command allows one to set environment variables easily within their configuration. It additionally allows one to get an environment variable using the `$ENV:<name>` syntax. With the configuration snippet listed below, which MUST appear before any `exec` commands -- so that environment variables are all available to these newly launched programs -- set a number of variables used by GTK & Qt for forcing Wayland rendering. ``` export GDK_BACKEND wayland export CLUTTER_BACKEND wayland export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND 1 export QT_QPA_PLATFORM wayland-egl export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION 1 export ELM_DISPLAY wl export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING 0 export SDL_VIDEODRIVER wayland ``` While the above does not demonstrate reading variables, the example below does demonstrates its use: ``` export PATH $ENV:HOME/bin:$ENV:PATH ``` Signed-off-by: Joseph Benden <joe@benden.us> |

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.
Compiling from Source
Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
- meson *
- wlroots
- wayland
- wayland-protocols *
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)

sudo ninja -C build install
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
