FlakeWM is a Wlroots based Wayland compositor. Currently, it's under early development stage.
Please refer to libs/README.md for the version and licensing info of those vendored third-party libraries.
- Wlroots 0.20.2
- Abseil lts_2026_08_17
I realized that the version(s) of libdrm, pixman and wayland required by Wlroots 0.20.2 may be too high for some distros, and we have also vendored those libraries. When the system packages cannot satisify the version requirement, CMake will fall back to vendored library. But keep in mind, THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRACTICE.
This window compositor relys on Qt Quick offscreen to render titlebars, please have Qt 6.8 ready.
