Building on archlinux requires wlroots-git

[ntegan]

Couldn't build on archlinux, wlroots and wayland-protocols installed.
Had to

find . | xargs -I{} sed -i 's/wlr_seat_pointer_notify_clear_focus/wlr_seat_pointer_clear_focus/g' {}

to fix this error

ntegan@tpp51 ~/dwl (git)-[master] % make

Try wlroots-git?

[ntegan]

Ah yes, that worked.
Now I get a nice blank grey screen, not sure what to do with it.

Are the tags supposed to be in top left like dwm?

Ooh if I try to shift-alt-enter and create a terminal i get nothing, but when I exit with shift-alt-q, I see an error in my terminal from which I launched dwl.

dwl: execvp alacritty failed: no such file or dir

Trying to install alacritty-git now.

Ah, I changed terminal to wterm and I get a nice half-working terminal now!

pretty cool. can probably delete this issue

[djpohly]

Yeah - dwl is still in an early state, and support for status bars and such is still forthcoming (see the list in the README), but many things do already work. I'll be sure to mention the wlroots-git dependency. Thanks for bringing that up!
