It is installing rev 0.53.2, I have tried to figure out how to cheat it, it must be pulling info from the Ubuntu data, the interesting thing is that the page I am following is for install on Ubuntu 20.04.01, that is the rev level I am at.
When you do the pip3 command it goes out and pulls down 0.53.2.... When I try to finish the install and it gets down to the part for where it is compiling and installing wlroots that is where it tosses the error. I was trying to figure out how to contact the maintainer to ask about it but so far zip. I want to see how the Wayfire effects compare to the old Compiz.
