The awww (Answer to your Wayland Wallpaper Woes) package provides a powerful wallpaper daemon for Wayland, controlled at runtime.
An Internet connection is needed for building this package. The system certificate store may need to be set up with make-ca before building this package.
Rename the file download(s) before extracting:
mv -v v0.12.0.tar.gz awww-v0.12.0.tar.gz
Rustc, Wayland, and Wayland-Protocols
dav1d and scdoc-1.11.4 (to build the man pages)
This package expands to the directory awww.
Install awww by running the following commands:
cargo build --release
To test the results, issue: cargo test --release.
If you installed scdoc and wish to build the man pages, execute the following commands:
./doc/gen.sh
Now, as the root user:
install -vDm755 target/release/awww -t /usr/bin/ && install -vDm755 target/release/awww-daemon -t /usr/bin/ && ln -sfv awww /usr/bin/swww && ln -sfv awww-daemon /usr/bin/swww-daemon
If you wish to install shell completions, execute the relevant
commands for your shell(s) as the root user:
install -vDm644 completions/awww.bash /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/awww install -vDm644 completions/_awww -t /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/ install -vDm644 completions/awww.fish -t /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/
If you built the man pages, install them as the root user:
install -vDm644 doc/generated/* -t /usr/share/man/man1/

want to be able to display AVIF images (requires dav1d).
