Turns out that fedora killed off stropts.h some time ago [1] and removing it seems to work just fine. (Tested on Fedora 23) [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439403 |

sway
"SirCmpwn's Wayland window manager" is a work in progress i3-compatible window manager for Wayland. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).
Rationale
I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and i3way still has zero lines of source code after two years.
Status
Installation
From Packages
sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages available for you to install:
For other distros, see this wiki page.
Compiling from Source
Install dependencies:
- cmake
- wlc
- wayland
- xwayland
- asciidoc
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2
Run these commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
sudo make install
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config
and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config
. It is located at /etc/sway/config
, unless the
DFALLBACK_CONFIG_DIR
flag has been set. Run man 5 sway
for information on
the configuration.
Running
Instead of running startx
, run sway
. You can run sway
from within X as
well, which is useful for testing.
