Overview

Owl

Owl is a portable Wayland compositor written in Objective-C, using Cocoa as its backend. Owl primarily targets Mac OS X, but also supports a variety of other operating systems thanks to GNUstep.

Owl makes it possible to run Wayland clients inside OS X's native Quartz graphics environment. In that sense, Owl plays a role similar to the XQuartz and XWayland compatibility layers.

Work in progress

Owl is a work in progress. Some things work, many don't. There's a lot to improve and figure out!

Building

First, make sure you have Wayland installed. Please see the other repositories in this GitHub organization for ports of Wayland and related software to systems that they don't normally support.

To build Owl, create a build directory, then run configure, then make:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure
Owl root directory detected as ..
$ make

If the build succeeds, you should find Owl.app in the build directory.

License

Owl is free software, available under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later.

    Build Application with dependencies saved in the application's folders

    One shouldn't have to install epoll-shim and wayland manually for Owl to work. Ideally one could just have those relevant libraries generated during build and saved inside the app's resource folders. This would hopefully make the app resilient to changes in those underlying libraries.

    At the moment I'm only seeing dependencies on these non-system libraries: libepoll-shim.0.dylib libffi.8.dylib libwayland-server.0.dylib

    XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set fallback option doesn't exist

    Maybe have a reasonable default of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ~/Library/Application\ Support/ ?

    Otherwise maybe in the error dialog suggest running launchctl setenv XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ~/Library/Application\ Support/ or something to that effect to set the variable.
