@Archielinny check wl_shimejis github, it has all instructions

strange that kwin and mutter don't provide wayland-compositor, but I guess it's not critical, now should build without it

once again mentioning that this does not actually require wayland-compositor, it would be nice if this could be fixed

So, I'm new to arch. I installed this, but I don't know how to start it, can anyone help me out?

Why does this depend on wayland-compositor? That dependency tries to make you install mostly a tiling wm... This package builds, installs and runs fine if I edit the PKGBUILD to remove that dependency.

@Zenn no worries! I actually had to read up a lot on how git submodules are usually done, this was something of a challenging and unique program to package.

Needs to depend on wayland-protocols for building aswell

Thanks! Updated PKGBUILD to your version. I'm new to maintaining packages so feel free to correct if something is wrong.

This failed to build for me, had weird errant things, and many PKGBUILD conventions weren't followed besides, so I rewrote this to be more "proper". Feel free to upstream the changes... notably, a -git package is meant to be used for automatically following git commits via aur helpers, not be fixed to a specific commit. Versioned releases would be done by creating a second package named wl_shimeji.
