I had the same problem. If pipeware is not present in the system, the compiler returns an error.

Add pipewire use flag

Patch allows to control pipewire support via USE flag. Only compilation tested.

Patch gets me past the configure phase, which resolves observed bug.
Currently compiling. Will test out more thoroughly.

I appreciate the quick patch.
Comment 5 Scott Furry 2025-05-26 14:17:28 UTC
Compile successful.
A quick run recording desktop action worked without error indication.
Recommend pushing patch.

    media-video/simplescreenrecorder: fix pipewire automagic
    
    Wire it up as USE=screencast. Quoting a warning message in MainWindow.cpp:
    > SimpleScreenRecorder is able to record Wayland sessions using the
    > PipeWire backend, provided that your Wayland compositor supports it
