labwc is problematic because it always uses wlroots master, and not the latest release. The only way to support labwc until it stabilizes is to build wlroots too (if its dependencies are satisfied, they change often) and link statically.
It's not perfect, sometimes you run into issues. For example, I tried to backport wlroots master (post-0.15.x) to bullseye64, but it needs some libraries (libwayland-*) to be updated, but static linking is impossible because wlroots depends on other libraries, which are dynamically linked against an older version of the problematic libraries. wlroots.wrap will work only if the host is new enough to build the latest wlroots, where you don't have a problem in first place.
My proposal is pretty much slacko specific. I thinks it's doable .. and I just had my https://github.com/labwc/labwc/pull/314 merged :smile_cat:

Sure, why not :)
This issue is because slackware-15.0 doesn't 'officially' (as in isn't in the repos) support wlroots and friends. Sure there are slackbuilds but that would be very messy.
I could (and have) concoct a mammoth
labwc-all
petbuild with all the goodies I need to produce a good functional distro.
