Other Qtile wayland session can not find wlroots.

Hello, I wanted to use Qtile wayland session I encountered the following problems:
1. Qtile port does not install the wayland requirements. (I did it myself)
2. Qtile port does not create a desktop entry for display managers (I tried to create one myself, but it didn't work, so I launched it via terminal)
3. When launched with the wayland flags, Qtile gives the error, cannot find wlroots which I already installed (this is where I got stuck)
I'm assuming this is a packaging issue.
 
After some trial, I have noticed that same issue persists on Debian too. So it's a Qtile issue more than anything.
 
Its not Qtile its FreeBSD lacking pywlroots. You cant run Qtile under wayland inside FreeBSD.
Read this dependency list.
You can try to get it done under venv but you would have some issues if you start Qtile inside venv. I used to run Qtile inside venv but decided not to. Ive have not tried to instal pywlrots from source nor in venv im waiting until pywlroots will be in ports :D
