A smithy for rusty wayland compositors

Goals

Smithay aims to provide building blocks to create wayland compositors in Rust. While not being a full-blown compositor, it'll provide objects and interfaces implementing common functionnalities that pretty much any compositor will need, in a generic fashion.

Also:

  • Documented: Smithay strives to maintain a clear and detailed documentation of its API and its functionnalities. Compiled documentations are available on docs.rs for released versions, and here for the master branch.
  • Safety: Smithay will target to be safe to use, because Rust.
  • Modularity: Smithay is not a framework, and will not be constraining. If there is a part you don't want to use, you should not be forced to use it.
  • High-level: You should be able to not have to worry about gory low-level stuff (but Smithay won't stop you if you really want to dive into it).

Anvil

Like others, Smithay as a compositor library has its own sample compositor: anvil.

You can run it with cargo after having cloned this repository:

cargo run -p anvil -- --{backend}

The currently available backends are:

  • --winit: start anvil as a Winit application. This allows you to run it inside of an other X11 or Wayland session.
  • --tty-udev: start anvil in a tty with udev support. This is the "traditional" launch of a Wayland compositor. Note that this requires you to start anvil as root if your system does not have logind available (consolekit support is planned).
  • --tty-raw: start anvil without udev support, manually binding all ressources. Requires to be run as root. This backend is mostly present as example code for use in very minimalistic systems.
