Building

Building the WM (Recommended method)

first of all, make sure you have all the required packages installed.

Arch

sudo pacman -S --needed cairo gdb ninja gcc cmake libxcb xcb-proto xcb-util gtkmm gtk4 gtkmm3

Ubuntu

sudo apt install xcb cmake gcc libgtk-3-dev ninja-build libgtkmm-3.0-dev libxcb-randr0 libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-util-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-util1 libxcb-ewmh-dev libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-cursor-dev libxcb-shape0-dev

(If this list is incomplete please report it to me!)

Now, you can either build it in the CLI or use an IDE (I recommend VS Code)

CLI

git clone https://github.com/vaxerski/Hypr
cd Hypr
make clear && make release

Hypr should now be built to ./build/Hypr.

You should now move it into /usr/bin and add a desktop session.

sudo cp ./build/Hypr /usr/bin

and paste the example desktop session into /usr/share/xsessions

sudo cp ./example/hypr.desktop /usr/share/xsessions

VS Code

Install the CMake and C/C++ Extensions packages from the VS Code Extension Marketplace

Restart VS Code and open Hypr as a folder. Set your preferred configuration on the bottom panel and hit build.

Move the built file into /usr/bin like above and add a desktop session.

Info

You will need to copy the Hypr built file every time you make a change for it to apply on your next X startup, but the desktop session does not need to be updated.
