      The <application>Xwayland</application> package is an Xorg server
      running on top of the wayland server. It has been separated from the
      main Xorg server package. It allows running X clients inside a
      wayland session.

    <title>Installation of Xwayland</title>

    <para>
      Install <application>xwayland</application> by running the following
      commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i '/install_man/,$d' meson.build &amp;&amp;

mkdir build &amp;&amp;
cd    build &amp;&amp;

meson --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX         \
      -Dxvfb=false                  \
      -Dxkb_output_dir=/var/lib/xkb \
      ..                            &amp;&amp;
ninja</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Building the test framework needs some work. First,
      <ulink url="https://wayland.pages.freedesktop.org/weston/">weston</ulink>
      brings in several dependencies, but the number can be reduced by
      disabling unneeded features. The <command>meson</command> command
      for a stripped down build of <application>weston</application> is shown
      in <ulink
      url="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/blob/xwayland-21.1/.gitlab-ci/debian-install.sh">
      Upstream continuous integration build</ulink>.
    </para>

    <para>
      Furthermore, an X server needs to be running during the build of
      <application>xts</application>. If not running the tests in a
      graphical environment, you'll need to enable <command>Xvfb</command>
      by removing the <parameter>-Dxvfb=false</parameter> above. The
      instructions below suppose this has been done.
    </para>

    <para>
      Running the tests involves downloading two other frameworks, in addition
      to the mentioned optional dependencies:
    </para>

<screen remap="test"><userinput>mkdir tools &amp;&amp;
pushd tools &amp;&amp;

git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/piglit.git --depth 1 &amp;&amp;
cat &gt; piglit/piglit.conf &lt;&lt; EOF                                    &amp;&amp;
<literal>[xts]
path=$(pwd)/xts
EOF</literal>

git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/test/xts --depth 1   &amp;&amp;

export DISPLAY=:22           &amp;&amp;
hw/vfb/Xvfb $DISPLAY &amp;
VFB_PID=$!                   &amp;&amp;
cd xts                       &amp;&amp;
CFLAGS=-fcommon ./autogen.sh &amp;&amp;
make                         &amp;&amp;
kill $VFB_PID                &amp;&amp;
unset DISPLAY VFB_PID        &amp;&amp;
popd</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Then the tests can be run with:
    </para>

<screen remap="test"><userinput>XTEST_DIR=$(pwd)/tools/xts PIGLIT_DIR=$(pwd)/tools/piglit ninja test</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      <command>sed -i '/install_man/,$d' meson.build</command>: Prevents
      installing a manual page for <command>Xserver</command>,
      which is not part of this package.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>-Dxvfb=false</parameter>: Prevents building the
      <command>xvfb</command> program, which is also installed by
      <xref linkend="xorg-server"/>. Remove if you do not plan to
      install the X server.
    </para>

    <para>
      <command>mkdir -pv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d</command>: This directory is
      needed to put configuration files for Xwayland. This command ensures
      that it exists, as some applications might use it without first
      creating it.
    </para>

    <para revision="sysv">
      <command>cat &gt;&gt; /etc/sysconfig/createfiles...</command>: This
      command creates the <filename class="directory">/tmp/.X11-unix</filename>
      directory at startup, and ensures that the permissions and ownership
      are correct as required by applications using Xwayland.
