It's better to use DT_RPATH dynamic section of the elf binary to store the paths of libraries to load instead of overwriting LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the whole environment, causing surprises. This solution is much more transparent and perfectly suitable for running contained installations of wayland/wlroots/sway. The code unsetting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_PRELOAD was also deleted as it's a placebo security at best - we should trust the execution path that leads us to running sway, and it's way too late to care about those variables since we already started executing our compositor, thus we would be compromised anyway. |

"SirCmpwn's Wayland compositor" is a work in progress i3-compatible Wayland compositor. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).
Notice: work is well underway to port sway to wlroots. This is unstable and unsupported - we accept patches, but are not fond of bug reports. We are no longer accepting bugs for 0.15.
If you'd like to support sway development, please contribute to SirCmpwn's Patreon page.

Installation
From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.
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
Install dependencies:
- meson
- wlroots
- wayland
- xwayland
- libinput >= 1.6.0
- libcap
- pcre
- json-c >= 0.13
- pango
- cairo

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).
