qtile switched to wlroots 0.16 recently,
so changing CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I/usr/include/wlroots0.15"
export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/usr/lib/wlroots0.15"
is no longer necessary. This also prevents the qtile from building currently, ending in many errors when gcc is being run.
The wayland dependencies are removed from this completely now. If you want a package that pulls in wayland dependencies (and not x11 ones), there is the qtile-wayland-git AUR package.
Thanks guys. An issue for this has been posted on the pywlroots issue tracker (https://github.com/flacjacket/pywlroots/issues/77) and will be resolved soon.
Exactly the same error as arjan5 overhere
Building this package currently doesn't work. I get the following traceback:

Aborting...
@mcol: Please make sure to remove the leading v from the version string (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines#Git).
python-pip is required as a make dependency
@RogerDuran/@dequis: While at it, please also review the Python package guidelines and the VCS guidelines:
pkgver() on annotated tagsbuild() and only install in install() (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines#distutils)check() is also much appreciated!

Re: The tests take a very long time to run.
When I adopted this package, checks were disabled. Upon enabling them, I saw a large number of failures. Leaving the checks enabled will prevent problems from going unnoticed.
Users who rebuild frequently may not need to run checks after every build. They may opt for one of the following:
--nocheckoption tomakepkgto skip the tests.makepkgto disable checks by default.BUILDENVarray in/etc/makepkg.conf.--checkoption.
