There are a couple of changes to build dwl 0.90

You need to install wlroots020

doas pkg install wlroots020

Here are my notes on building dwl 0.90

Here are the important parts

make sure you have either extracted the tar.gz or checkout the repo with git.
and then changed into the dwl directory

cp config.def.h config.h

you need to edit the Makefile with sed

sed -i'' -e s/_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L/_XOPEN_SOURCE=700/ Makefile

if you want to build with XWayaland support for X11 applications,
edit the config.mk file

vi config.mk

and uncomment this section

# Uncomment to build XWayland support
XWAYLAND = -DXWAYLAND
XLIBS = xcb xcb-icccm

make for xwayland

gmake CC=cc CFLAGS+='-std=c11 -Wno-strict-prototypes' XWAYLAND="-DXWAYLAND" XLIBS="xcb xcb-icccm"

make without xwayland

gmake CC=cc CFLAGS+='-std=c11 -Wno-strict-prototypes'

install

doas cp dwl /usr/local/bin/

make sure its executable

doas chmod + /usr/local/bin/dwl

Trying to get any graphics screen that's not X.org or X11R?. Never seen it...
The handbook covers 14.1. The /var/run/user reference doesn't seem to exist anymore or it doesn't explain enough. What's required to exist for what?

There should be a script that checks the hardware requirements and starts Wayland from a FreeBSD vt shell.
