Or build with:

git clone https://github.com/labwc/labwc
cd labwc
meson build
ninja -C build
Install the wlroots dependencies according the sway wiki
Then, follow these steps:

# If you're on Buster or Bookworm, you'll need to get a later version of meson, wayland,
# wayland-protocols and possibly others. You can add wayland and wayland-protocols
# as subprojects by adding wayland.wrap and wayland-protocols.wrap files in the subprojects
# directory, as described [here](https://github.com/labwc/labwc/issues/1356), in order to have
# meson fetch relevant sources during configuration.
# On Bookworm, enable the [backports repository](https://backports.debian.org/) and install
# the libdisplay-info-dev build requirement to build versions 0.7.0 and newer.
