-This file describes how to build and run wayland. See NOTES for what
-wayland is or maybe will be some day. There's a google group for
-wayland/eagle discussion here:
-
- http://groups.google.com/group/wayland-display-server
-
-Wayland requires the eagle EGL stack available from
-
- git://people.freedesktop.org/~krh/eagle
-
-and currently assumes that eagle is checked out in a sibling
-directory, for example:
-
- ~krh/src/wayland and
- ~krh/src/eagle
-
-Eagle should work with a recent DRI driver from mesa, but I have mesa
-repo with an eagle branch here:
-
- git://people.freedesktop.org/~krh/mesa
-
-which provides and experimental DRI CopyBuffer extension, that lets
-wayland use the DRI driver and the hardware for implementing buffer
-swaps. Eagle needs to be compiled against the dri_interface.h from
-this branch to be able to use the CopyBuffer extension.
-
-To run wayland you currently need intel hardware, a kernel with gem
-and kernel modesetting, and it is necessary to set a couple of
-environment variables. First, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
-
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD:$PWD/../eagle
-
-Yes, this sucks, but libtool sucks more. Then to let eagle pick up
-the custom dri driver, set
-
- export EAGLE_DRIVER_PATH=$PWD/../mesa/lib
-
-and finally set up the path to the evdev device to use as a pointer
-device:
-
- export WAYLAND_POINTER=/dev/by-id/whatever-it's-called-event-mouse
-
-If you haven't already, load the i915 driver with modesetting:
-
- modprobe i915 modeset=1
-
-You may need to unload it first, if it's loaded already. Also, on
-Fedora, there may be a bogus /etc/modprobe.d/i915modeset preventing
-the modeset paramater from reaching the module. Nuke it.
-
-At this point you should be able to launch wayland and a couple of
-clients. Try something like:
-
- ./wayland &
- ./background <some png/jpg image smaller than 1024x768> &
- ./flower &
- ./flower &
- ./flower &
- ./window &
- ./pointer &
-
-Maybe some day there'll be a script that does all this. Some day...
-
-And after all this work it may still not work or even oops your
-kernel. It's very much work in progress, so be prepared.
-
-cheers,
-Kristian
+Weston
+
+Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a
+useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that
+lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as
+under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple
+clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more
+complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite
+capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop
+shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server
+and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window
+manager.
+
+Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for building
+weston and its dependencies.
+
+The test suite can be invoked via `make check`; see
+http://wayland.freedesktop.org/testing.html for additional details.
