  The system library `wayland-client` required by crate `wayland-sys` was not found.
  The file `wayland-client.pc` needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory.
  The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is not set.

  HINT: if you have installed the library, try setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory containing `wayland-client.pc`.

  note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Hi @Heus-Sueh and thank you for the report!

It looks like the system is missing wayland libraries. Which distribution are you using?

sorry, I tried to build the package using distrobox but it still gave a dependency error, I had to delete the directory and clone it again to build it with clean dependencies

[Heus-Sueh]

Would you be able to distribute the project binary compressed in tar.gz with each release and create a script that places the binary in ~/.local/bin?

example: $curl https://mise.run | sh

This would make the tool easier to use for lay users.
