Dependencies

None, this is a pure go implementation

Docker Installation

Run the docker build command in the provided build.sh script.

Next, start your Wayland compositor, and run demos using the docker run commands that can be found in the run-shm.sh or run-smoke.sh scripts.

Important: If your docker requires root privileges, use sudo -E to start the programs. This is because $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR env variable is required.

Installation

First, you need a wayland-enabled Linux, if you don't have one, install the Wayland compositor weston that is useful for testing:

sudo apt-get install weston

Next, get the demos:

go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/...

Then, install them:

go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-simple-shm@latest
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-smoke@latest
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-imageviewer@latest

Using golang version < 1.16 (there is support for golang >= 1.09):

go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-simple-shm
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-smoke
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-imageviewer

Finally, run weston and the executables.
