A lightweight notification daemon for Wayland. Works on Sway.

mako implements the GNOME Desktop Notifications Specification.

Feel free to join the IRC channel: ##emersion on irc.freenode.net.

If you're using Sway you can start mako on launch by putting exec mako in your configuration file.

If you are using elogind, you might need to manually start a dbus user session: dbus-daemon --session --address=unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus

Install dependencies:

• meson (build-time dependency)
• wayland
• pango
• cairo
• systemd or elogind (for the sd-bus library)
• gdk-pixbuf (optional, for icons support)
• dbus (runtime dependency, user-session support is required)
• scdoc (optional, for man pages)

Then run:

meson build
ninja -C build
build/mako
