A modular Wayland compositor library

John Lindgren 6d197eef94 util: let wlr_box_closest_point() be within 1/65536 of right/bottom edge
Limiting the position to (x + width - 1, y + height - 1) created a 1px
"dead zone" at monitor edges, noticeable with high-resolution mice with
motion deltas of <1px.

See: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8110

Using (x + width - 1/65536, y + height - 1/65536) instead should make
the "dead zone" small enough to be unobservable, while the value 1/65536
is still large enough to avoid rounding to zero (due to loss of
significant digits) in simple floating-point calculations.

This does expose a client-side bug in Qt layer-shell applications,
noticeable in right/bottom panels which do not accept positions beyond
(x + width - 1, x + height - 1) as valid - thus driving the cursor
to the bottom/right of the screen to click on the panel does not work.
I don't have a good workaround for this, and probably it needs to be
fixed in Qt itself.

wlroots

Pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor; or about 60,000 lines of code you were going to write anyway.

  • wlroots provides backends that abstract the underlying display and input hardware, including KMS/DRM, libinput, Wayland, X11, and headless backends, plus any custom backends you choose to write, which can all be created or destroyed at runtime and used in concert with each other.
  • wlroots provides unopinionated, mostly standalone implementations of many Wayland interfaces, both from wayland.xml and various protocol extensions. We also promote the standardization of portable extensions across many compositors.
  • wlroots provides several powerful, standalone, and optional tools that implement components common to many compositors, such as the arrangement of outputs in physical space.
  • wlroots provides an Xwayland abstraction that allows you to have excellent Xwayland support without worrying about writing your own X11 window manager on top of writing your compositor.
  • wlroots provides a renderer abstraction that simple compositors can use to avoid writing GL code directly, but which steps out of the way when your needs demand custom rendering code.

wlroots implements a huge variety of Wayland compositor features and implements them right, so you can focus on the features that make your compositor unique. By using wlroots, you get high performance, excellent hardware compatibility, broad support for many wayland interfaces, and comfortable development tools - or any subset of these features you like, because all of them work independently of one another and freely compose with anything you want to implement yourself.

Check out our wiki to get started with wlroots. Join our IRC channel: #wlroots on Libera Chat.

A variety of wrapper libraries are available for using it with your favorite programming language.

Building

Install dependencies:

  • meson
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols
  • EGL and GLESv2 (optional, for the GLES2 renderer)
  • Vulkan loader, headers and glslang (optional, for the Vulkan renderer)
  • libdrm
  • GBM (optional, for the GBM allocator)
  • libinput (optional, for the libinput backend)
  • xkbcommon

  • pixman
  • libseat (optional, for the session)
  • hwdata (optional, for the DRM backend)
  • libdisplay-info (optional, for the DRM backend)

  • libxcb
  • libxcb-render-util
  • libxcb-wm
  • libxcb-errors (optional, for improved error reporting)

Run these commands:
