Issue description

Steps to reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/qtile/qtile.git
cd qtile
./dev.sh
. venv/bin/activate

As far as I understand this should have set up my development environment. Expected behavior: The following commands do not fail.

Observed behavior:

(venv) [user@computer qtile]$ ./scripts/ffibuild -v
    Failed!
    This is optional and is needed for: Wayland backend
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/programming/qtile/./libqtile/backend/wayland/cffi/build.py", line 1, in <module>
    import wlroots.ffi_build as wlr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wlroots'

(venv) [user@computer qtile]$ ./scripts/ffibuild -v
    Failed!
    This is optional and is needed for: Wayland backend

    import wlroots.ffi_build as wlr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wlroots'

When pywlroots is manually installed pip install pywlroots (in venv), the error changes to

(venv) [user@computer qtile]$ ./scripts/ffibuild -v
    Failed!
    This is optional and is needed for: Wayland backend
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from libqtile.backend.wayland.cffi import cairo_buffer, libinput
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libqtile'

As is evident from my prompt, I am running the scripts from the root directory of the project.
