Research direction
Reproduce the failure with meson build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release and inspect meson.build:16:17, where the Wayfire dependency is declared. Compare Meson's pkg-config and CMake lookup with the installed Wayfire package; done means the dependency is detected and the build setup proceeds past this error.
