No. window.h is part of toytoolkit, which is a toy and is not meant to be used outside of weston's example clients. Weston does provide a few headers to be used by other projects but they are for developing weston plugins, not for developing wayland clients. If you just want to write a wayland client all you need are wayland headers and the xml files of any additional protocols you may choose to use. clients/simple-shm.c in weston is a very simple example client which doesn't use toytoolkit, so you may start by looking at its code. -- Giulio > > I'm new to Wayland, and all I'm trying to do is show a window on the Wayland > display.
