# wayback
Wayback is a X11 compatibility layer which allows for running full X11
desktop environments using Wayland components. It is essentially
a stub compositor which provides just enough Wayland capabilities to host
a rootful Xwayland server.
It is intended to eventually replace the classic X.Org server, thus reducing
maintenance burden of X11 applications, but a lot of work needs to be done first.
Wayback is an experimental state: expect breaking changes, and lots of
bugs. Please submit pull requests fixing bugs instead of bug reports
if you are able.
## Installation
Dependencies:
- C compiler supporting the C23 standard (e.g. gcc >= 14 or clang >= 18)
- meson >= 1.4.0
- wayland (wayland-server, wayland-client, wayland-cursor, wayland-egl)
- wayland-protocol >=1.14
- xkbcommon
- wlroots-0.19
- xwayland >= 24.1
Building:
```
meson setup _build
cd _build
meson compile
```
Installing:
```
meson install
```
## Distribution packages
While Wayback is still alpha-quality software as of now there are packages in
various popular distributions maintained by folks in the Wayback community.
***NOTE: These packages are NOT supported by Wayback developers, and as Wayback
development continues they may become out of date. Wayback is still
alpha-quality software and development is rapidly moving, so before reporting any
issues we ask you to replicate them on the git `main` branch to make sure they
are still applicable to the latest code.***
