# Owl
Owl is a portable [Wayland] compositor written in Objective-C, using Cocoa as
its backend. Owl primarily targets Mac OS X, but also supports a variety of
other operating systems thanks to [GNUstep].
[Wayland]: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/
[GNUstep]: http://www.gnustep.org/
Owl makes it possible to run Wayland clients inside OS X's native Quartz
graphics environment. In that sense, Owl plays a role similar to the [XQuartz]
and [XWayland] compatibility layers.

# Work in progress
Owl is a work in progress. Some things work, many don't. There's a lot to
improve and figure out!
# Building
First, make sure you have Wayland installed. Please see the other repositories
in [this GitHub organization] for ports of Wayland and related software to
systems that they don't normally support.
[this GitHub organization]: https://github.com/owl-compositor
To build Owl, create a build directory, then run `configure`, then `make`:
```
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure
Owl root directory detected as ..
$ make
```
If the build succeeds, you should find `Owl.app` in the build directory.
# License
Owl is free software, available under the GNU General Public License version 3
or later.
