extra-cmake-modules-5.113.0, Mesa-23.3.3 (built with Wayland-1.22.0 support), plasma-wayland-protocols-1.12.0, and (Qt-5.15.12 or qt-alternate-5.15.12)
Install kwayland by running the following commands:
mkdir -v build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR=libexec \
-DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-Wno-dev .. &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR=libexec: This overrides the default in extra-cmake-modules, which is /usr/lib/libexec and is not FHS compliant.
-DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON: This forces installation of Qt plugins in the same directory as Qt-5.15.12 itself. Otherwise they get installed into /usr/mkspecs, which is not FHS compliant.
