How to Build Waybox
Waybox is a Wayland window manager based on wlroots designed to work similar to Openbox. At the time of this writing the project WIP (work in progress).
Compiling/building
Instructions are here for Void Linux but should apply to any other distro just fine.
sudo xbps-install meson wlroots wlroots-devel wayland cmake
# if any error shows up saying wlroots is not found, install these:
sudo xbps-install xcb-util-errors xcb-util-errors-devel xcb-util-wm-devel
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/wizbright/waybox.git
cd waybox
meson build
cd build
ninja
There should be an executable created in build/waybox.
Install
To install, you can use something like:
meson install -C ../build
