Emacs with native compilation ("gcc") and Wayland support

Because native-comp is fast, Wayland/GTK3 support means optimal HiDPI, cleaner/simpler dependencies, no XWayland, etc. This package is also a convenient way of using the "devel" version of Emacs without having to compile it yourself.

Note: we do not patch / amend or modify Emacs directly, this is a vanilla binary of Emacs with specific compilation flags.

How to get it

Arch Linux

Use the AUR package:

yay -S emacs-gcc-wayland-devel-bin # or any other AUR helper

Others

If you are not using Arch Linux, you can still go to the release page and grab the latest binaries.

Based on demand, I might add compiled packages for other Linux distributions, if you are interested, let me know in the issues.

I want to improve X

Please create an issue (or, even better, a PR).

Thanks

• github.com/masm11 for the Wayland support
• github.com/flatwhatson for maintaining a clean branch with Wayland support
• Obviously core Emacs maintainers!
