I'm a total beginner with Linux. I have a RaspberryPi 4 running with Raspian "Bookworm" that I want to configure to show some website in kiosk mode. Right now I'm trying to hide the cursor and apparently I need "wayfire-plugins-extra" installed.
The files and instructions may be found here: https://github.com/seffs/wayfire-plugins-extra-raspbian
Instructions:
git clone https://github.com/seffs/wayfire-plugins-extra-raspbian && cd wayfire- plugins-extra-raspbian
meson build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release
ninja -C build && sudo ninja -C build install
I get the following output when running the second line:

After doing some research I found that pkg-config apparently is looking for the wayfire.pc file at the wrong location so I need to change that. But I neither know how nor what I should change it to. (Found here: https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/2122)
I found a solution: I needed to install the "wayfire-dev" package (and additionally "libglibmm-2.4-dev" package) so the dependencies were OK.
