Last post published was setting up Anubis (the bot protection) because I felt that documentation was lacking. This time I am publishing a “getting started” on Wayland for the same reason.
This guide is about programming a client application showing a window. It is coded in C++ but very close to C so hopefully anyone can read it and implement on their own.
If you find it nice please share the word around, this could help me a lot.
I feel their is not enough in-depth explanation of the whole protocol and there are some crazy caveats (like the most known article this is inspired from would not work on big-endian machine). This took me a lot of time to write and make a “simple” code to test (800 lines file).
The page is a bit narrow on mobile
Fixed
👍 much better
You’re installing wayland on mobile?
You’re getting it wrong this is probably a problem about reading the post from mobile. My previous posts were not that packed with code so it wasn’t a big issue but I updated the CSS so it is way more comfortable to read now.
