ly not compiling in gentoo (openrc)

[FordJ2]

i created a fresh install of gentoo and wanted to install ly on it bc ly is pretty based. i have installed ly on arch in the past, but have always used a different dm for my previous gentoo installs. im not too sure what to do :/

system information:

$ uname -srm
Linux 5.15.32-gentoo-r1-x86_64 x86_64
$ eselect profile list

would switching to a */desktop profile fix anything?

@wncry You need to clone with --recurse-submodules, e.g.: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/fairyglade/ly
