To build without X11 or Wayland support set window_protocol=wayland
or window_protocol=x11
respectively. With both backends enabled wayst will default to wayland. You can force X11 mode with the xorg-only
option.
To build in debug mode set mode=debugoptimized
.
You can install wayst-git from AUR (arch user repository)
yay -S wayst-git
All option can be set in a configuration file or passed as command line arguments. To see all supported options run wayst --help
.
Wayst will look for: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wayst/config
or $HOME/.config/wayst/config
.
Example:
# '#' starts a line comment
# Strings with spaces need double quotes (use \" for " and \\ for \).
