[177/321] Compiling C++ object waybar.p/src_modules_battery.cpp.o
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I do have gtk-layer-shell.h in 2 locations (the latter from git):

/usr/include/gtk-layer-shell/gtk-layer-shell.h
/usr/local/include/gtk-layer-shell/gtk-layer-shell.h

I disabled the cava module in meson_options.txt as this seemed to be causing a lot of build errors, even though i have an updated cava install from git. I also updated fmt and spdlog, again from git.

My preferred destination is /usr/local but both produced the same errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Ubuntu: 26.04
Waybar: latest git

Hi @vaskark , actually it's not an waybar issue. It's better to close this issue and open a question. Otherwise mess in the issues list keep growing .

@LukashonakV Thanks for responding. Where can I open a question?
