如何将WM移植到Wayland？

Question

Are there any examples to port existing WM from X11 to wayland? For example, porting light-weighted WMs (such as dwm , wmii , awesome ) to wayland. Maybe, portings dwm to wayland is a good example.

Answer 1

Some guys are porting Mutter to Wayland and gave a presentation about it on FOSDEM 2012. Here's the link:

Writing a Wayland Compositor

Neil and Robert will discuss their own experience of writing a Wayland compositor, where they have been adaping the Gnome Mutter compositor into a hybrid X and Wayland compositor. The talk aims to provide general guidance on writing a hybrid X and Wayland compositor without going into many Mutter specifics.

This might be a starting point for you...
