Ah, I missed the “wlroots” bit. I’m running GNOME. Please feel free to close :)

Hi there,

I just attempted to compile wlrctl and it failed with:

Run-time dependency xkbcommon found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
meson.build:29:0: ERROR: Dependency "xkbcommon" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

On Fedora, this fixed it:

sudo dnf install libxkbcommon-devel

(This should be documented in the readme.)

Following that, I got a successful build:

wlrctl 0.2.1

  User defined options
    prefix: /usr/local

However, running the examples failed:

❯ wlrctl keyboard type 'Hello'

Virtual Keyboard interface not found!

❯ wlrctl window focus firefox

Foreign Toplevel Management interface not found!

Not sure where to go from here.

The latest version of Fedora currently supported is 35.
