Swayfx: build errors

Hi everyone, I decided to install SwayFX via the GitHub repository. Cloned it into my home directory and logged in. I type in the command - “meson build/”

Okay, going to install SceneFX through AUR.

Hmm, I'd think it would work! Is the issue in installing scenefx then? If so, please open an issue on the the scenefx GitHub. Alternatively you can install swayfx-git from the aur

We're aiming to have a release at the end of the weekend so worst case you can get it by installing the stable version from the aur then
