About
=====

A simple Wayland client. It can be used to test the `simple-server`

Building
========

Use `hws -c hs-wayland-scanner.cfg` to generate the Wayland bindings:

``` shell
cd examples/simple-client
/path/to/hws -c hs-wayland-scanner.cfg
```

Alternatively run:

``` shell
/path/to/hws -p ./  protocols/wayland.xml
```

Now you can build it with `cabal`:

``` shell
cabal [run|build|install]
```

Running
=======

Run with:

``` shell
# change the socket name with the one printed by simple-server
WAYLAND_DISPLAY="wayland-0" /path/to/simple-client
```

or, if there is only one server running:

``` shell
/path/to/simple-client
```

Anyway the client will connect to any server and print the list of
available interfaces

If the connection is successful the client will print something like:

``` shell
Connected!
[CLIENT] Global: wl_compositor (name=1)
[CLIENT] bound compositor
```

wait two seconds and exit.

Documentation
=============

This example exposes a library also to show the documentation
generated by `hws`. To produce the documentation run:

``` shell
cabal haddock
```
