install fail wlr/backend.h: No such file

[Dialgatrainer02]

hyprload is failing to compile hyprland as the source doesnt contain backend.h and terminating comilation

Oh, oops. Can you check if this is still an issue after 866f809 ? Just running the install script again (preferably fresh, so remove ~/.local/share/hyprload) should fix it

[Dialgatrainer02]

i removed /usr/share/hyprload and re ran the script and got this error: /home/charlie/.local/share/hyprload/hyprland/src/helpers/../includes.hpp:74:10: fatal error: wlr/types/wlr_output_damage.h: No such file or directory

What version of Hyprland are you running? (package source, name, version in pacman and hyprctl version)

[Dialgatrainer02]

pacman: hyprland-git r2757.011600ac-1
hyprctl version: Hyprland, built from branch main at commit 011600ac6e7f6d52f69d0890bffba519a9d81e3fdirty (keybinds: more intelligent fallback on silent move).
flags: (if any)
its the aur build

[Duckonaut]

That's very strange. Can you run git -C ~/.local/share/hyprload/hyprland rev-parse HEAD? Maybe there's a version mismatch in the Hyprland source cloned

[Dialgatrainer02]

011600ac6e7f6d52f69d0890bffba519a9d81e3f
this is the only output i get

[Duckonaut]

Alright, it seems to be related to this PR in Hyprland? It got accepted 3 days ago, and the commit you're running is 10 days old. Try updating Hyprland

[Duckonaut]

Oh, alright. After recent hyprland build system changes it seems the way to build protocol files like that one changed. Will check if I can fix it here or will I have to PR it to Hyprland

[IronRevelation]

I have the same problem as @Zeioth. Any progress? Btw, thank you for your work!

[IronRevelation]

For some unknonw reason it fixed itself

[Duckonaut]

What's the status here? Is anyone still having this issue?

[Cstrp]

Now I had the same problem.
Hyprctl -v v0.30.0-22-g3f09b143

[zjeffer]

I'm now having the same issue. I created a fork of Hyprload to make it easier to debug the install script: https://github.com/zjeffer/hyprload (the same error occurs with your repo's install script, though).

Here's the compile error I'm getting:

It's as if it's not compiling Hyprload with the -DWLR_USE_UNSTABLE flag? Which is strange because it looks like it is using it according to the Makefile.
