https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/issues/1350 is fixed with this. The commit that change swaygrab to use fork instead of Popen tried to write to the read end of the pipe in the child branch and exec in the parent branch. This commit fixes both of those and closes the write fd after writing, so convert actually exits. |

Compiling from Source
Install dependencies:
- cmake
- wlc
- wayland
- xwayland
- libinput >= 1.6.0
- libcap
- asciidoc
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 *
- pam **
- imagemagick (required for image capture with swaygrab)
- ffmpeg (required for video capture with swaygrab)

**Only required for swaylock
Run these commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc ..
make
sudo make install
On systems with logind, you need to set a few caps on the binary:
sudo setcap cap_sys_ptrace=eip /usr/local/bin/sway
sudo setcap cap_sys_tty_config=eip /usr/local/bin/sway
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
Sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
