This seriously needs to be in community, awesome drop-in replacement for kwin.

@sl1pkn07 - thanks for the fix. it's been added to the PKGBUILD. i apologize for the late addition, as i had hoped that the problem would fix itself, but it's been long enough.

Can you please add =${pkgver} to the kwin-entry in the provides array?

Thanks for maintaining!

finded the problem

fails build with libglvnd from [testing]

patch here https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/839710201c389b7f4ed248cb3818e755a37ce977

but idk if needs adapt to kwinft

EDIT the patch adapted to kwinft

Subject: [PATCH] x11: Fix build with EGL_NO_PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_TYPES

eglCreateWindowSurface() wants a Window (unsigned long), but with
EGL_NO_PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_TYPES, EGLNativeWindowType is defined as an
opaque pointer, i.e. void*.

@kodatarule You need to have wrapland installed in order to build kwinft. I've updated the package to include it as a build dependency on top of being a normal package dependency.

Hello, I am unable to build the latest package:

@keren_sky I suggest posting the output of dismanctl -i and dismanctl -o, also the names of the processes with high cpu usage

Hi, does this need some further configuration after install ? I install this package, then start Plasma + Wayland as per the archlinux wiki. The login period is extended compared w/ an x11 session and everything is slow. Mouse movements, etc. In htop there are four kwin_wayland processes with near 100% CPU usage. Thanks.

edit: I'll reinstall the package and run those commands suggested by abelian424
