Because wm_tree tracks the entire window tree, it's able to replace several old data structures we used to track windows: the window hash table, the window stack, and the subwin table. So we got rid of those, and fully switched to wm_tree. Fixes window rules for window managers that don't put client window directly under toplevel windows. This includes, according to people's reports, at least i3 and KDE. Fixed a couple small bugs: * dbus was returning window ID as a boolean. * window frame extents not cleared after its client window disappears. Signed-off-by: Yuxuan Shui <yshuiv7@gmail.com> |

Build
Dependencies
Assuming you already have all the usual building tools installed (e.g. gcc, python, meson, ninja, etc.), you still need:
- libx11
- libx11-xcb
- xproto
- xcb
- xcb-util
- xcb-damage
- xcb-xfixes
- xcb-shape
- xcb-renderutil
- xcb-render
- xcb-randr
- xcb-composite
- xcb-image
- xcb-present
- xcb-glx
- pixman
- libconfig
- libdbus (optional, disable with the
-Ddbus=falsemeson configure flag) - libGL, libEGL, libepoxy (optional, disable with the
-Dopengl=falsemeson configure flag) - libpcre2 (optional, disable with the
-Dregex=falsemeson configure flag) - libev
- uthash
On Debian based distributions (e.g. Ubuntu), the needed packages are
libconfig-dev libdbus-1-dev libegl-dev libev-dev libgl-dev libepoxy-dev libpcre2-dev libpixman-1-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb1-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libxcb-damage0-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-present-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-util-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev meson ninja-build uthash-dev
On Fedora, the needed packages are
dbus-devel gcc git libconfig-devel libdrm-devel libev-devel libX11-devel libX11-xcb libxcb-devel libGL-devel libEGL-devel libepoxy-devel meson pcre2-devel pixman-devel uthash-devel xcb-util-image-devel xcb-util-renderutil-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel xcb-util-devel
To build the documents, you need asciidoc
To build
$ meson setup --buildtype=release build
$ ninja -C build
Built binary can be found in build/src
If you have libraries and/or headers installed at non-default location (e.g. under /usr/local/), you might need to tell meson about them, since meson doesn't look for dependencies there by default.
You can do that by setting the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables when running meson. Like this:
$ LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/libraries" CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/headers" meson setup --buildtype=release build
As an example, on FreeBSD, you might have to run meson with:
$ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" meson setup --buildtype=release build
$ ninja -C build
To install
$ ninja -C build install
Default install prefix is /usr/local, you can change it with meson configure -Dprefix=<path> build
How to Contribute
All contributions are welcome!
New features you think should be included in picom, a fix for a bug you found - please open a PR!
You can take a look at the Issues.
Contributions to the documents and wiki are also appreciated.
Even if you don't want to add anything to picom, you are still helping by compiling and running this branch, and report any issue you can find.
Become a Collaborator
Becoming a collaborator of picom requires significant time commitment. You are expected to reply to issue reports, reviewing PRs, and sometimes fix bugs or implement new feature. You won't be able to push to the main branch directly, and all you code still has to go through code review.
If this sounds good to you, feel free to contact me.
