snot - simple notification daemon
==================================

snot is a small, simple notification daemon for Wayland compositors implementing the 
layer-shell protocol.

Requirements
-----------
* wayland
* wlroots
* cairo
* pango
* dbus

- if you are not on systemd, you might need to manually start a dbus user session:

Start D-Bus session daemon:
---------------------------
dbus-daemon --session --address="unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus" --nofork --print-address &

Export D-Bus session address for other applications:
----------------------------------------------------
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus


Installation
-----------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (snot is installed into
/usr/local by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install snot
(if necessary as root):

    make clean install

Configuration
------------
The configuration of snot is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.

    cp config.def.h config.h
    $EDITOR config.h
    make clean snot
