This repository contains template files and binaries for building or installing Hyprland on Void Linux.
The easiest way to install Hyprland on Void Linux is using the repository which consists of binaries built automatically using GitHub Actions whenever a new commit is pushed.
You can add this repository to xbps's repositories by creating a file such as /etc/xbps.d/hyprland-void.conf with the following text:
repository=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Makrennel/hyprland-void/repository-x86_64-glibc
You should then be able to install hyprland like you would any other program:
sudo xbps-install -S hyprland
You can also search through all hypr related packages as you would any other (you will need to accept the repository's fingerprint first with xbps-install -S)
xbps-query -Rs hypr
Currently this repository provides binary packages for:
- x86_64-glibc
- x86_64-musl
Change the end of the url at /etc/xbps.d/hyprland-void.conf as appropriate with the above options.
In order to run Hyprland you will need to install some additional packages which will depend on your setup, for example a session and seat manager and graphics drivers.
You may also have to add the user to the _seatd group.
The hyprland-nvidia has been removed as it is no longer necessary as of version 0.33.0. Nvidia support is still unofficial; refer to the manual.
Nightly packages have been removed as of 2024/08/13. They were always a bad idea, and with newer git versions of Hyprland after version 0.42.0 requiring GCC 14 which has not yet landed in the hopelessly out of date void-packages repository, it simply doesn't make sense to continue maintaining nightly packages in this repository. If you would like to use git packages for Hypr*, you would probably be better off building directly from source, or use Nix.
There are packages in this repository which may be of interest for:
- hypridle
- hyprlock
- hyprpaper
- xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
You may want to build these templates manually, for example if you have a specific configuration requirement that needs to be set at build time. Void-packages may sometimes have specific packages which are out of date from time to time that need to be updated beforehand in order to update Hyprland, which is why this repository is not simply forked off it. We need to copy the modifications from this repository on top of a fresh void-packages clone in order to build manually.
- You may want to start by making a directory where you can keep the relevant repositories
mkdir ~/repos
cd ~/repos
- Set up a void-packages clone for building templates files
git clone https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages
cd void-packages
./xbps-src binary-bootstrap
cd ..
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/Makrennel/hyprland-void.git
cd hyprland-void
- Append shared libraries to the end of your void-packages shared libraries
cat common/shlibs >> ../void-packages/common/shlibs
- Copy srcpkgs to your void-packages srcpkgs directory
cp -r --remove-destination srcpkgs/* ../void-packages/srcpkgs
- Build and install packages
cd ../void-packages
./xbps-src pkg hyprland
sudo xbps-install -R hostdir/binpkgs hyprland
