simvux / hyprland-void Goto Github PK

This repository contains template files for building Hyprland using xbps-src.

1. You may want to start by making a directory where you can keep the relevant repositories

mkdir ~/repos
cd ~/repos

2. Set up a void-packages clone for building templates files

git clone https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages
cd void-packages
./xbps-src binary-bootstrap
cd ..

3. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Makrennel/hyprland-void.git
cd hyprland-void

4. Append shared libraries to the end of your void-packages shared libraries

cat common/shlibs >> ../void-packages/common/shlibs

5. Copy srcpkgs to your void-packages srcpkgs directory

cp -r srcpkgs/* ../void-packages/srcpkgs

6. Build and install packages

cd ../void-packages
./xbps-src pkg hyprland
sudo xbps-install -R hostdir/binpkgs hyprland

In order to run Hyprland you will need to install some additional packages which will depend on your setup, for example a session and seat manager and graphics drivers.

If Hyprland updates and this repository changes, you may want to perform a hard reset and clean of your cloned void-packages repository to ensure changes are correctly applied when repeating steps 4 and 5 after a git pull on both void-packages and hyprland-void. (BEWARE: This will also reset any changes you have made to any other packages locally - you will have to figure it out yourself in this case)

sudo xbps-install -Su # Update system normally first to avoid building every package needing update from source

cd ~/repos/void-packages
git clean -fd
git reset --hard
git pull

cd ../hyprland-void
git pull

cat common/shlibs >> ../void-packages/common/shlibs # Repeat steps 2 and 3
cp -r srcpkgs/* ../void-packages/srcpkgs

cd ../void-packages
./xbps-src update-sys

This repository also includes other templates which may be of interest for:

• hyprpaper
• xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

You may also be interested in EWW, for which a template is available in a separate repository as it is not specific to Hyprland.
