# Using GTK with Wayland {#gtk-wayland}
|
|
|
|
The GDK Wayland backend provides support for running GTK applications
|
|
under a Wayland compositor. To run your application in this way, select
|
|
the Wayland backend by setting `GDK_BACKEND=wayland`.
|
|
|
|
On UNIX, the Wayland backend is enabled by default, so you don't need to
|
|
do anything special when compiling it, and everything should "just work."
|
|
|
|
## Wayland-specific environment variables {#wayland-envar}
|
|
|
|
### WAYLAND_DISPLAY
|
|
|
|
Specifies the name of the Wayland display to use. Typically, wayland-0
|
|
or wayland-1.
|
|
|
|
### XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
|
|
|
|
Used to locate the Wayland socket to use.
