Where do I start if I want to write a wayland compositor?

Question

I imagine there isn\'t a \"Beginner\'s guide to wayland server programming\" drifting around the web, and the weston source looks daunting.

Is there a barebones wayland

Answer 1

I wrote a minimal wayland compositor that runs on top of X11 with the hope that it might be useful for other people who want to learn how to write a wayland compositor.
It's about 500 lines of code that are really just the minimal code that is needed to host multiple instances of weston-terminal and move them around.
