Build failure on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

[Joss-Steward]

I'm trying to build quickshell on my desktop running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20250925, but I am running into a problem with cmake finding wayland-util.h.

I do have wayland-util.h on my system, provided by the wayland-client package. Running pkg-config returns:

joss@grove ~/quickshell (master)> pkg-config --cflags wayland-client
-I/usr/include/wayland
joss@grove ~/quickshell (master)> ls /usr/include/wayland
wayland-client-core.h      wayland-cursor.h       wayland-egl.h          wayland-server-protocol.h
wayland-client.h           wayland-egl-backend.h  wayland-server-core.h  wayland-util.h
wayland-client-protocol.h  wayland-egl-core.h     wayland-server.h       wayland-version.h

I believe the problem may be related to the wayland headers being in the wayland-client package instead of where they are expected, I'm not sure if this is how it is packaged on other distributions. I tried to poke around in CMakeLists.txt to see if I could fix it, but I'm not familiar enough with cmake to make any progress.

[Joss-Steward]

After a bit more research, I did the simplest possible thing I could think of, and added include_directories("/usr/include/wayland") to src/wayland/CMakeLists.txt. After this, the build process was able to find the appropriate wayland-util.h header.

I then encountered a second, similar error - it couldn't find GLES3/gl32.h. After searching around I was able to find this provided by the Mesa-libGLESv3-devel package. After installing that, I was able to build and install quickshell successfully.

I'll leave this open for now - I think CMakeLists.txt still needs a change to find wayland-util.h on OpenSUSE by default and I know my solution of hardcoding the include path isn't suitable for general use, but hopefully this will help anyone else who has encountered this same problem.

[outfoxxed]

I am not entirely sure what you did here but your system include paths are totally broken.

[Joss-Steward]

I'm only building this from source because there's no package in the openSUSE repos for it. I don't think my system or my include paths are broken, considering it's a fresh OpenSUSE install.

This seems like an issue with the cmake config when building on OpenSUSE, no?

Once I added the appropriate include path for the wayland headers everything built fine, all the other headers and dependencies were correctly found without extra work on my part.

[outfoxxed]

I seem to have missed half your message last night and thought your gl headers were broken too. Its weird that no other distros seem to have this problem, and I can't reproduce it myself. Can you check if this patch fixes it for you?

[Joss-Steward]

Its weird that no other distros seem to have this problem

I assume OpenSUSE breaks the packages with the dependencies up in a way that some other distros don't, it doesn't seem too unusual. The installation instructions only include Fedora, Arch, Nix, and Guix - I don't know if e.g. debian has this problem or not.

I did take the time to try this on a fresh install of OpenSUSE in a VM just to make sure. There's several packages on OpenSUSE that have different names from their debian versions.

Complete reproduction steps:

I can confirm that these steps work (to reproduce the error) on a completely fresh VM with OpenSUSE, so this isn't due to a variation on my side.

1. Install OpenSUSE Tumbleweed from the 2025-10-01 snapshot ISO.
2. Install git, get source

sudo zypper in git
git clone https://github.com/quickshell-mirror/quickshell
cd quickshell
git checkout "v0.2.0"

3. Install misc deps

sudo zypper in cmake spirv-tools pkg-config cmake Mesa-libGLESv3-devel cli11-devel \
wayland-protocols-devel libgbm-devel pipewire-devel jemalloc-devel

4. Install qt deps

sudo zypper in qt6-base-devel \
qt6-declarative-devel  \
qt6-shadertools-devel \
qt6-quickprivate-devel \
qt6-quick-private-devel \
qt6-wayland-devel \
qt6-waylandclient-devel \
qt6-waylandclient-private-devel

5. Configure

cmake -GNinja -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCRASH_REPORTER=OFF
cmake --build build

At this point, the error is returned:

Try this one? It might take a couple times to figure this out, the above is a guess.
