# lxqt-wayland-session

Files needed for the LXQt Wayland Session: Wayland session start script, its desktop entry for

display managers and default configurations for actually supported compositors which are:

* Stacking WMs

    * Labwc (version 0.7.2 and higher)

    * Wayfire

    * kwin_wayland

  

* Tiling Wms

    * Hyprland

    * Niri

    * river

    * Sway

  

At startup a basic configuration file for those compositors will be copied to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lxqt/wayland` directory

if not existing already, except for labwc and `kwin_wayland` where their default configuration location is used.

If no compositor is already set in `lxqt-config-session` Labwc will be started opening "Session Settings".

Please refer to each compositors documentation for tweaking.

### Other compositors

Any compositor  which supports at least `wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1` and (for taskbar)`wlr-foreign-toplevel-management-unstable-v1` protocols should work.

A line `lxqt-session && ` is needed in the autostart configuration of the compositor.

### Compiling source code

Runtime dependencies are [qtxdg-tools](https://github.com/lxqt/qtxdg-tools),

[lxqt-session](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-session) and layer-shell-qt.

Additional build dependencies are [lxqt-build-tools](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-build-tools), CMake and optionally Git to pull latest VCS checkouts.

Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` has to be set

to `/usr` on most operating systems.  

To build run `make`, to install `make install` which accepts variable `DESTDIR` as usual.
