Golang Wayland

Go vulkan cube demo

This includes two sample apps that render into a shared memory. Tested on pc (x64) and raspberry pi (arm64). The smoke app reacts on mouse input.

This text editor is one of the sample apps. It is a Linux-only programming text editor.

Dependencies

None, this is a pure go implementation. But for a meaningful keyboard support, you need the C libxkbcommon library for apps that require keyboard.

Golang install:

sudo apt-get install golang

or

sudo dnf install golang

Docker Installation

Run the docker build command in the provided build.sh script.

Next, start your Wayland compositor, and run demos using the docker run commands that can be found in the run-shm.sh or run-smoke.sh scripts.

Important: If your docker requires root privileges, use sudo -E to start the programs. This is because $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR env variable is required.

Installation

First, you need a wayland-enabled Linux, if you don't have one, install the Wayland compositor weston that is useful for testing:

sudo apt-get install weston

Install libxkbcommon:

sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon-dev

or in Fedora:

sudo dnf install libxkbcommon-devel

Next, get the demos:

go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/...

Then, install them:

go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-simple-shm@latest
go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-smoke@latest
go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-imageviewer@latest
go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-texteditor@latest

Using golang version < 1.16 (there is support for golang >= 1.09):

go install -tags wayland github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-cube
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-simple-shm
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-smoke
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-imageviewer
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-texteditor

Finally, run weston and the executables.
