Brian Ashworth 9099adbbe6 swaynag: revamp type configs
This revamps the type configs for swaynag. All sizing attributes for
swaynag are now `ssize_t` instead of `uint32_t` to allow for a default
value of `-1`, which allows for `0` to be a valid value. Additionally,
the initialization of the type configs has been changed from a simple
calloc to use a new function `swaynag_type_new`. `swaynag_type_new`
calloc's the memory, checks for an allocation failure, sets the name,
and all sizes to -1. The layering order has also been changed to
default, general config, type config, and as highest priority command
line arguments. Finally, `swaynag_type_merge` has been modified to
handle the layering and sizing changes.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 **
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

**optional: required for swaybg

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

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).
