You need to install the packages providing wayfire.pc, probably wayfire-dev.

[colesnicov]

No. That not help.

Check the output of pkg-config --modversion wayfire. It should tell you if any dependent packages are not found.

find /usr -name "wayfire.pc" and add this value to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=wayfire_pc_path:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

or install via wf-install: https://github.com/WayfireWM/wf-install
