Task 1 + 2 of the WINGs Wayland-client backend.
Adds optional --enable-wayland-client (default auto) which depends on
wayland-client, xkbcommon, wayland-protocols, and wayland-scanner.
configure.ac probes for these and exposes WAYLAND_CLIENT_CFLAGS/LIBS
plus the protocols data dir and scanner path.
WINGs/Makefile.am wires a wayland-scanner rule that generates
xdg-shell-{protocol,client-protocol}.{c,h} at build time and links
libWINGs against wayland-client + xkbcommon when enabled.
WINGs/wclient_wl.c is the new file. It self-stubs when the feature
is disabled. When enabled it provides:
W_WLClientInit(scrPtr, display)
Connects via wl_display_connect, registers a wl_registry listener,
binds wl_compositor/wl_shm/wl_seat/xdg_wm_base, creates an xkb_context,
and hooks the libwayland event pump into the existing
W_EventBackendWL via W_WL_SetLoopDispatch(). This lets the existing
ring-buffer event mechanism keep working unchanged: the ring is fed
by client-side wl_pointer/wl_keyboard listeners (next task) and
drained by WMNextEvent / WMMaskEvent / waitForEvent.
W_WLClientShutdown(scrPtr)
Tears down all bound globals and disconnects the wl_display.
No surfaces / buffers / input dispatch yet — those come in tasks 3-5.
Build verified clean, wmaker still links and runs as before.
The XDND-on-dock feature was a configure-time toggle (--disable-xdnd)
gating ~25 #ifdef sites across shared src/. This was a pre-Wayland
feature flag, not a backend distinction, but it polluted the policy
layer with build-time conditionals.
Make it unconditional:
configure.ac Remove --disable-xdnd and AM_CONDITIONAL. XDND on
the dock is always built.
src/Makefile.am Move xdnd.c from the if-USE_DOCK_XDND block into
the unconditional wmaker_SOURCES list.
src/dock.h, dock.c, dockedapp.c, appicon.h, appicon.c, event.c,
misc.c, startup.c, dialog.c, screen.h
Strip all #ifdef USE_DOCK_XDND/#endif pairs. In
dockedapp.c the #else branch (rendering an 'XDnD
support was not compiled in' label) is dead and
removed.
Backend routing: the X11 backend continues to drive the XDND protocol
through xdnd.c via the existing xdnd_process_client_message /
xdnd_process_selection / xdnd_make_awareness vtable slots. Wayland's
slots are no-ops (XWayland clients drop into the X11 path naturally
via wl_state.x_display).
src/ is now free of feature-flag guards related to DnD.
Vtable slots implemented in wl_backend.c:
- window_set_background_pixmap: composite pixman image into frame_buf/WINGs view
- window_clear: fill frame_buf/WINGs view with transparent black
- pixmap_free: pixman_image_unref
- shape_combine_mask: wlr_scene_buffer_set_opaque_region from mask pixman image
- switchpanel_send_enter: focus-guard flag to suppress spurious focus on panel destroy
- keyboard_grab/keyboard_ungrab: suppress client key forwarding during alt-tab loop
WINGs view backing: wl_window_clear and wl_window_set_background_pixmap
fall back to W_GetViewBacking() for WINGs window IDs when frame_buf_find fails.
cycling.c: synthesize XEvent when _x11_raw is NULL (Wayland native events)
to prevent segfault in switchpanel event handling.
Alt-tab cycling works. Switch panel rendering still needs investigation.
On shade, the client scene node was lowered and disabled, and the
frame_buf scene node was disabled. On unshade, the frame_buf node
was not re-enabled, and the client node was enabled but remained
behind the frame (at bottom of Z-order from stacking_lower).
Fix: re-enable frame_buf node when show_resizebar is true, and
raise the client scene node to top on window_map so it's above
the frame background.
- Add selection_acquire, selection_release, platform_init to
W_ViewBackend struct (were used but not declared).
- Add lookup_string to W_FontBackend struct (same issue).
- Guard selection_acquire call with NULL check in selection.c.
- Remove pixman_image_unref in wl_frame_configure resize path —
wlroots manages the buffer lifecycle via scene refcounting.
LSan confirms no leak.
- Remove #include of wmspec.c/xdnd.c/xmodifier.c from x11_backend.c
— they are already compiled as standalone objects, causing
multiple-definition linker errors on clean builds.
