I can't get sway 0.14 to start. I'm using the latest version, but I'm new to sway. I'd like to be able to at least try it out!

This gist shows Void Linux package info and debug output for sway started from a tty, both as a regular user (it can't access a lockfile) and as root (trying to work around the permissions). I don't have a sway config file yet.

If it's just misconfigured somehow, please let me know so I can inform the package maintainers.

Can you get a stack trace from the core dump?

We don't work very hard to maintain musl support. Are you interested in maintaining it?

I don't believe it's musl-related, since my coworker (also on Void) had the same problem, using the glibc version of the package. I was able to get both Weston and Enlightenment to start without any trouble, so it's not fundamental to my Wayland setup. Might possibly be WLC, though.

I couldn't get anything interesting out of gdb, but I gave up fairly quickly. Now that I'm up and running with i3 I'll try to compile sway myself. I don't see any debugging options in the cmake lists... can you give some advice on how to get a stack trace?

Grab a core dump and open it with gdb.
