i don't plan on continuing the development. the goal was to learn wayland's internals which i reached.

waytinier is a tiny experimental wayland client library for rust.
it was originally supposed to be dependant on nothing but std and libc (which std also depends on).
i've allowed myself to use libloading to load libgbm, because it's a tiny crate and doesn't increase build times drastically.

the machine example can (at the time of testing) open a window and draw an image while weighing a bit over 650KiB (with default cargo/rustc settings)
with these cargo optimizations for size enabled, i managed to get the binary size down to ~380KiB:

• elf stripping enabled
• opt level set to »z«
• lto set to »fat«
• only one codegen unit enabled
• panic unwinding disabled

interestingly, setting the opt-level to »s« increased the "raw" binary's size by 4KiB and »z« increased it by 50KiB!
these settings increased the build times from ~0.7s to ~3.6s

waytinier currently offers window (xdg_toplevel) creation and drawing on shared memory buffers. i've also added an option to use dma buf fd's but am not willing to test whether that works.
documentation is highly lacking, as in, there is none. i may get to that one day

the WAYTINIER_DEBUGLEVEL environment variable can be set to values from -1 to 4 to change the amount of logs emmited. a nolog feature is available to disable logging completely

see the examples dir for examples. machine and new should both work.

building waytinier requires the nightly rust compiler toolchain.
