# Jay
|
|
|
|
Jay is a wayland compositor written in rust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project is in very early development and not yet ready for serious use.
|
|
I have been using it as a daily driver for several weeks but regressions happen often and
|
|
can go unnoticed for multiple days.
|
|
|
|
For now this repository serves purely as a code backup.
|
|
Do not expect any kind of structured commit history.
|
|

|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
While Jay is written almost completely in rust, it depends on the following libraries:
|
|
|
|
* **libinput.so**: For processing input events.
|
|
* **libEGL.so**, **libGLESv2.so**: For OpenGL rendering.
|
|
* **libgbm.so**: For graphics buffer allocation.
|
|
* **libxkbcommon.so**: For keymap handling.
|
|
* **libudev.so**: For device enumeration and hotplug support.
|
|
* **libcairo.so**, **libpangocairo-1.0.so**, **libgobject-2.0.so**, **libpango-1.0.so**: For text rendering.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, Jay depends on the following runtime services:
|
|
|
|
* **An up-to-date linux kernel**
|
|
* **XWayland**: For XWayland support.
|
|
* **Pipewire**: For screen-recording.
|
|
* **A running X server**: For the X backend. (Only required if you want to run Jay as an X client.)
|
|
* **Logind**: For the metal backend. (Only required if you want to run Jay from a TTY.)
