Building the Wayland stack with ASan
Run nix develop first, then follow the
Building with ASan
guide.
Manual building
Nix works differently than other build systems, so it has its own abstractions over popular build systems such as Meson, CMake and Ninja.
In order to manually build Hyprland, you can run the following commands, while
in the nix develop shell.
For CMake:
$ cmakeConfigurePhase # to run the CMake configure phase
$ ninjaBuildPhase # to run the Ninja build phase
$ ninjaInstallPhase # to run the Ninja install phase
For Meson:
$ mesonConfigurePhase # to run the Meson configure phase
$ ninjaBuildPhase # to run the Ninja build phase
$ mesonInstallPhase # to run the Meson install phase
