-dwl has only two dependencies: wlroots and wayland-protocols. Simply install these (and their `-devel` versions if your distro has separate development packages) and run `make`.  If you wish to build against a Git version of wlroots, check out the [wlroots-next branch](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/tree/wlroots-next).
