You're now ready to compile wlroots, which is the Wayland compositor library used by Sway.
* Clone the [`wlroots`](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots) repository with git
* Execute `meson build`, which will create the `build` directory
* Execute `sudo ninja -C build install` to build and install wlroots
* Execute `ninja -C build` to build
* Execute `sudo ninja -C build install` to install
* Verify that either `/usr/local/lib` or `/usr/local/lib64` contain `libwlroots.so`
Now that wlroots is built and installed, you can build Sway.
* Clone the [`Sway`](https://github.com/swaywm/sway) repository with git
* Execute `meson build`, which will create the `build` directory
* Execute `sudo ninja -C build install` to build and install wlroots
* Execute `ninja -C build` to build
* Execute `sudo ninja -C build install` to install
* Verify that `/usr/local/bin` contains the `sway`, `swaybar`, `swaylock`, etc. binaries
Since Sway and wlroots development moves quite fast, it's common to have issues compiling Sway if your installed version of wlroots is behind. As a first step of compile error troubleshooting, pull, build, and reinstall wlroots.
