juchem/build-hyprland

A self-contained, sandboxed docker image that will build and install hyprland.

TL;DR: build and install latest version:

# build the build image:
make

# build latest `hyprland` using the build image and store binaries in `/tmp/hyprland`:
docker run -it --rm -v /tmp/hyprland:/out build-hyprland

The source code for this image can be found at juchem/build-hyprland.

Binaries will be installed into guest directory /out. Mount that directory with -v host_dir:/out to install it into some host directory.

Choose the version to build by setting environment variables (defaults to HEAD for bleeding edge):

• HYPRLAND_VERSION
• HYPRLANG_VERSION
• HYPRCURSOR_VERSION

Customize the base installation directory by setting the environment variable PREFIX_DIR. Defaults to /usr/local.

Example: install under ~/opt with specific versions:

OUT_DIR="$HOME/opt"
mkdir -p "${OUT_DIR}"

# build hyprland using the build image
docker run -it --rm \
    -v "${OUT_DIR}:/out" \
    -e "HYPRLANG_VERSION=v1.2.3" \
    -e "HYPRCURSOR_VERSION=v1.2.3" \
    -e "HYPRLAND_VERSION=v1.2.3" \
    build-hyprland
