• Configuration File: not applicable

• Stack Trace: not applicable

• Description:

  • After the big rebase it seems that the package updates for swayfx are broken because they can't find scenefx. This happens with both the swayfx-git AUR package and using the Nix flake. It seems to be a matter of packaging scenefx that #284 seems to address on the Nix side.

We're in the middle of fixing this. Should be fixed shortly! :D

That's awesome! Thank you so much ^u^

In project root, you can do:

mkdir subprojects && cd subprojects/
git add submodule "https://github.com/wlrfx/scenefx"
git submodule init && git submodule update

It might require wlroots ~17.2 as a submodule as well. Although it passes build (don't enable pgo), on startup I personally get an error about 'libscenefx.so' missing, so I do not think it is getting linked correctly.

I have just started using the project after Nvidia fixed their regression, and this is the only thing that is similar to i3 with picom. Although it is behind sway and there is a lot of issues, I cannot go back after getting a hit of the general "snappiness" of Wayland.

Fixed now! :)
