OpenBSD support discussion #504
Open
Description
Recently, there has been talk of the wlroots library (https://github.com/openbsd/ports/blob/master/wayland/TODO-Wayland.md) coming to OpenBSD. Even though it's still in the experimental stages, I thought it would be a good idea to open a discussion on support for OpenBSD in dwl when support is finalized, even if it is years off. Philosophically, this would make dwl a successor to dwm in the Wayland space because dwm has a strong focus on OpenBSD as well as Linux.
dwl may need to do a few things to support OpenBSD:
- Evaluate input options- it could be that nothing needs to be done if a successful libinput port is achieved
- Evaluate alternatives to evdev such as wscons
- Possibly make udev optional- this should be possible given recent changes in wlroots.
