Hyprland compositor / wayland window manager

[Ashe]

Project description

Hyprland is a Dynamic Tiling Wayland Compositor in early development stages.

It recently received a lot of attention on reddit as a fresh window manager for wayland (video can be found here).

It would be quite nice to have it as a package so that we can experience it's development and provide feedback!

was able to build it on my local machine

will leave derivation file,, (lately will edit it)

Thank you for your hard work :) are you going to consider submitting it as a package?

[wozeparrot]

I also did an attempt at building it. Had to work around the makefile a bit, and it also requires wlroots git.

@Ashe yes, i'm planning to

@wozeparrot i'm using git wlroots (by building derivation on my machine). but maybe it will work with unstable.

with recent Hyprland-master, no patches needed,
lately will try to push PR (that's my first time, so i don't know how long it will take)

[wozeparrot]

master only has wlroots 0.15.1 which does not work with Hyprland as it requires wlroots git. So you would also have to package wlroots git.

[selastingeorge]

building wlroots is totally a mess, it requires many packages. most of the time my system end up in a boot loop or any other issue. since wlroots current development (0.16.0) version requires latest packages, i use Debian Sid repository to obtain the packages. so i created a bash script to automate installation of all the dependencies for building wlroots. i tried running script today, and the build succeed.

Don't forget to remove Sid repo once installation is completed.

On nix it was pretty simple for me to build wlroots-git, just take the 0.15 wlroots nix derivation, copy it, change the commit and hash and it just built.

[selastingeorge]

On Ubuntu, it was a headache. In nix all the wlroots dependencies were already installed.

[wozeparrot]

I do have hyprland packaged in nixpkgs here: https://github.com/wozeparrot/nixpkgs/tree/hyprland. I don't know if @fedoranvar still wants to continue with their packaging, cuz if not I'll just make a pr.

[fedoranvar]

@wozeparrot it'll be good if you'll make a PR
