Use at your own +risk !! We are not responsible if it nukes your files, burns up your cpu, +kills your cat, sells your house, divorces you, or otherwise messes +Anything up ! + +Use at your own risk !! You have been warned !! + + +Requirements: +------------- + +Aside from the normal requirements that Enlightenment needs, there are +a few things to note in order to get Enlightenment to build without +X11 support. + +Firstly, you MUST have EFL built with the following options: + + --enable-drm + --enable-wayland + +This Readme does not address the dependencies needed to enable Wayland +in EFL. If you require any information for that, please see: + + https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/wayland/ + +If you would like support for EGL in Wayland, then also build EFL with: + + --enable-egl + --with-opengl=es + +The above options can be enabled for EFL without any adverse effects to +existing applications. + + +Next, you will need to adjust the options that you pass to +Enlightenment during the compile phase. + +Please note, we recommend installing This version of Enlightenment into it's +own separate prefix so that you can still safely fallback to the X11 version. + +This can be done by passing: + + --prefix=<some_other_install_location> + +Now, on to the magic bits ;) + +In order for Enlightenment to be compiled without X11, using Wayland +only, you will need to pass a few more options to the configure stage +of Enlightenment: + + --enable-wayland-only + --enable-wayland-clients + --enable-wl-drm + +Since this is all still a work-in-progress, there are a few +Enlightenment modules that have not been "fixed" to work without X11 +yet. Those will need to be disabled: + + --disable-shot + --disable-xkbswitch + --disable-conf-randr + --disable-everything (don't worry, this is just the everything module) + + +At this stage, you should have EFL properly built, and Enlightenment +properly built. Let's move on to running it... + + +Usage: +------------- + +Hopefully at this stage you have successfully built EFL and +Enlightenment in preparation for a Wayland-only setup. Congratulations +!! Now, let's get it running... + +The following steps assume you are currently at a Virtual Terminal +without anything else running (ie: no other window managers, X11, etc). + +In order for Enlightenment to function without X11, we need to setup +the environment. In your current tty, do: + + export E_WL_FORCE=drm + export ELM_ENGINE=wayland_shm (or wayland_egl) + +This will make sure that Enlightenment renders using DRM, and any +Elementary applications use a Wayland engine. + +At this point, you should just be able 'cd' to the Enlightenment +prefix where you installed, and issue: + + ./enlightenment_start + +Please Note: It is suggested that you create a separate configuration +profile with only a Minimum of modules loaded. Due to the experimental +(and ongoing) status of Wayland-Only support in Enlightenment, Many +modules May Not Work. Very few have actually been tested yet !! + +If you have a separate configuration profile (as suggested) that you +would like to use, you can tell Enlightenment to use that when you +start it: + + ./enlightenment_start -profile <my_profile> + + +Notes: +------------- + +Please Note: There is currently NO support for running X11 +applications with this !! So basically, your web browsers won't work, +don't expect to be able to run Firefox, Thunderbird, or practically +Any Other X11 application yet. About the only things "known" to work +so far are EFL/Elementary applications. + + +Bugs: +------------- + +Yes, there are Lots of them !! +Yes, I am already aware of 99.9% of them. +No, you do not need to start reporting them yet !! + +When we feel that the work is reaching a "finalizing" stage, we will +put out a request for actual testers and bug reports ! + +You are here because you want to play...because you want to +experiment...because you want to be "cool" ;) You are not hear to nag +me with complaints & reports about things I am already well aware of +;) Save yourself some time, and me some stress !! ;) + + --
