SceneFX-0.4.1

Introduction to SceneFX

SceneFX provides Wlroots-based Wayland compositors with eye-candy surface rendering functions in place of the Wlroots scene API.

SceneFX Dependencies

Required

libdrm, GBM (libgbm or Mesa), Glslang, OpenGL + EGL + GLESv2 (libglvnd or Mesa; Mesa's GL is not supported), Pixman, Wayland, Wayland-Protocols, and wlroots-0.19.2

Installation of SceneFX

Install SceneFX by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr       \
            --buildtype=release \
            -D examples=false   \
            .. &&
ninja

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

Command Explanations

--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.

-D examples=false: This parameter disables building the examples. Due to possibly bad dependency structions, this causes the build to fail if using samurai-737f70 until the third attempt of running. The examples cause protocol generation to end prematurely which are needed for the main library and the examples. Ninja papers over the issue.
