- fontconfig
- xkbcommon [wayland]

- notify-send [optional]
To build without X11 or Wayland support set window_protocol=wayland or window_protocol=x11 respectively. With both backends enabled wayst will default to wayland. You can force X11 mode with the xorg-only option.
To build with debuging symbols set mode=debugoptimized.
Installation from AUR
You can install wayst-git from AUR (arch user repository)

Configuration file
All option can be set in a configuration file or passed as command line arguments. To see all supported options run wayst --help.
Wayst will look for: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wayst/config or $HOME/.config/wayst/config.
For an example configuration file see config.example.
Shell integration
Wayst can use iTerm2 shell integration sequences or VTE prompt notifications to track command history.
