Any news on this?

The problem is the meson build specification and I encountered it for version 0.5.0 as well, which is marked stable!
I bypassed it by using '-system-*' flags, but now I hit a dead end. I'm attaching some pictures (yes, my system has no DE at the moment and I'm using my phone).

apologies, I'm busy for the next week.
I will check this out next Sunday.

[Comment 12 sulfinu 2021-04-25 13:05:43 UTC]

Got passed this issue by erasing
    ,dependencies:wlroots
in lines 124,125 in meson.build.

But building fails upon installation because it also installs wlroots files, in spite of the 'system-wlroots' flag.

From Toralfs log
Dependency wlroots found: NO found 0.13.0 but need: '<0.13.0' ; matched: '>=0.12.0'

wayfire-0.7.0 needs wlroots-0.12.0
wayfire-0.7.1 (new) will need wlroots 0.13.0
