Thanks for the code.
how to compile this on ubuntu 22.04? I got below error when I run the following command.

gcc -o test init_window.c xdg-shell-client-protocol.c -I. -lwayland-client -lwayland-server -lwayland-client-protocol -lwayland-egl -lEGL -lGLESv2 

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwayland-client-protocol: No such file or directory

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried installing sudo apt-get install libwayland-dev but that didn't help

Probably you're missing wayland-protocols (https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/wayland-protocols)?
