wlr-randr PMOS + Phosh

[nieral]

Hey!

I'm trying to install wlr-randr to change the screen resolution on my pinephone. I'm referring to this thread and the two provided links by "nas", which are related to debian + phosh


I cloned wlr-randr from github
installed build-base

then I run
meson build in thdisplay guidee /wlr-randr directory

but it quits with the following error:

this is the output of the meson-build log:

Both pkg-config and cmake are installed on the system. I do not understand the error messages above concerning pkg-config, which, I assume, are the cause for the error:

Code:

Pkg-config binary missing from cross or native file, or env var undefined.

Any idea?

Changing the screen resolution seems to be the only practical way to make application fit the screen. Even the open/save dialogs from PM OS' Core apps are too large (the display guide on the pmOs wiki did not solve the scaling problems for me and is only applicable for qt apps).
