Arch Linux User Repository

I've found an alternative source at https://github.com/adlocode/wayland-wall. Just replace the URL, git+https://github.com/wayland-wall/wayland-wall.git, with git+https://github.com/adlocode/wayland-wall.git and the package builds without issue.

Seems like wayland-wall repository was removed from github.

Needs 'wayland' in the makedepends array.

This package is installing files under “/usr/local”. With Meson you need to use “--prefix=/usr” instead of “-Dprefix=/usr”:

The project seems to have switched to the meson build system. The following patch fixes this package for me:
