What's the right way to compile it? about hyprfocus HOT 17 CLOSED

so several things to try here;

1. im not seeing you source 02-hyprland-plugins.conf in the main config file, which is probably necessary

2. i dont know if this is the case, but i think the plugin needs to be loaded before you configure it (as it declares config variables and such)

3. it might be worth trying to just do it bare bones in the main config file, since i dont know how sourcing reacts with the plugin system

from hyprfocus.

I made #3

from hyprfocus.

merged, keeping issue open until Zeioth reports back

from hyprfocus.

I managed to compile it yesterday. wlrooots was necessary (instead of wlroots-git).

Failed to load with

hyprctl plugin load ./hyprfocus.so
error in loading plugin

Today is failing to compile with a different error:

borderDeco.hpp:5:10: fatal error: hyprland/src/render/decorations/IHyprWindowDecoration.hpp: No such file or directory

I think I'm gonna wait until it stabilizes a bit.

from hyprfocus.

im unable to compile it as well, and is a bit confused as to why. the hyprland source includes wlroots as a git submodule, but some files seems to be missing from wlroots. i'll look more into it

from hyprfocus.

i got it. turns out i forgot how to compile plugins. here's the step by step instructions based the official wiki:

1) clone hyprfocus and cd into it

git clone https://github.com/VortexCoyote/hyprfocus && cd hyprfocus

2) clone hyprland and cd into it

git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland && cd Hyprland

3) you need to checkout the correct release tag to match with your version of hyprland. in my case, i got the latest one so.

git checkout tags/v0.24.1

4) prepare the hyprland source for plugin compilation

make pluginenv

5) cd back and make

cd .. && HYPRLAND_HEADERS="Hyprland/" make

6) profit

hyprctl plugin load <.so path>

let me know if these steps works, i might add them to the readme file

from hyprfocus.

It compiles correctly thank you!! but

hyprctl plugin load hyprfocus.so

fails with "error in loading.

hyprctl version
Hyprland, built from branch main at commit f23455e592bca14e0abd9249de467cc71cd2850e dirty (makefile: use -f in copies to avoid errors on running hl).
Tag: v0.24.1-112-gf23455e5

flags: (if any)

from hyprfocus.

could you try using the full path to the .so file?

from hyprfocus.

Using the absolute path seems works ok!!

hyprctl plugin load /home/zeioth/.local/share/hyprfocus/hyprfocus.so     
ok

But the plugin does nothing. If I try to enable it on hyprland config like

plugin:hyprfocus {
    enabled = yes
}

Hyprlad complains there is no such field as plugin:hyprfocus

from hyprfocus.

The specific error hyprland displays is

Error setting <true> for field <master:gestures:plugin:hyprfocus:enabled>:No such field.

from hyprfocus.

could you show me your config file/s? the "plugin:plugin:hyprfocus" looks weird to me

from hyprfocus.

yes you have them online here: https://github.com/Zeioth/zeioth-hyprland-config/blob/main/config.d/03-hyprland-plugins

EDIT: That was a typo sorry. But same error.

from hyprfocus.

It seems to be failing to compile again. I've done:

• Now git checkout tags/v0.25.0 is used (hypaland-git)
• make pluginenv → now requires sudo permissions

Output:

But your latest comment made sense to me. I'm gonna re-test as soon as I can compile again. Testing is difficult with so many quick changes, but that's a good thing in the long term most likely 😄

Edit: Config updated to exec the plugin before trying to apply settings.

from hyprfocus.

plugin needs to be updated to work with 0.25.0 onwards.

from hyprfocus.

It compiles and loads correctly again on v0.25.0

But still fails to detect my settings → loaded here

from hyprfocus.

obviously because you are defining them in master:gestures?

from hyprfocus.

your config is full of invalid syntax occurrences:
