Golang Wayland

Go vulkan cube demo

This includes two sample apps that render into a shared memory. Tested on pc (x64) and raspberry pi (arm64). The smoke app reacts on mouse input.

This text editor is one of the sample apps. It is a Linux and Windows multiplatform programming text editor.

Dependencies

None, this is a pure go implementation. But for a meaningful keyboard (on Linux) support, you need the C libxkbcommon library for apps that require keyboard. On windows this is not necessary.

Golang install:

sudo apt-get install golang

or

sudo dnf install golang

Docker Installation Linux

Run the docker build command in the provided build.sh script.

Next, start your Wayland compositor, and run demos using the docker run commands that can be found in the run-shm.sh or run-smoke.sh scripts.

Important: If your docker requires root privileges, use sudo -E to start the programs. This is because $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR env variable is required.

Pre-Installation Linux

First, you need a wayland-enabled Linux, if you don't have one, install the Wayland compositor weston that is useful for testing:

sudo apt-get install weston

Install libxkbcommon:

sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon-dev

or in Fedora:

sudo dnf install libxkbcommon-devel

Install wayland-client and vulkan for cube:

sudo apt-get install libwayland-dev libvulkan-dev

On NVIDIA, install nvidia-egl-wayland for cube:

sudo apt-get install libnvidia-egl-wayland1

Pre-Installation Windows

You don't need to do anything special on Windows, simply continue using the install steps below

Installation (Windows and Linux)

Next, get the demos:

go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/...

Then, install them:

go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-simple-shm@latest
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-smoke@latest
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-imageviewer@latest
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-texteditor@latest
go install github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-texteditor/editor_backend@latest

Using older golang (there is support for golang >= 1.18):

go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-simple-shm@latest
go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-smoke@latest
go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-imageviewer@latest
go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-texteditor@latest
go get github.com/neurlang/wayland/go-wayland-texteditor/editor_backend@latest

Finally, run weston and the executables.

Running the go-wayland-texteditor (Windows and Linux)

First, run the editor_backend executable

Secondly, run the go-wayland-texteditor executable, in the folder with the PNGs and JPGs (to see the fonts)
