pywayland-scanner throws KeyError 'wl_surface'

[heuer]

I fixed the import error from issue #57 locally, but now I get another error:

pywayland-scanner -i wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think I got it. I have to provide the "context" protocols as well

pywayland-scanner -i /usr/share/wayland/wayland.xml /usr/share/wayland-protocols/stable/xdg-shell/xdg-shell.xml wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1.xml -o protocols

[heuer]

But now the imports in the generated files are not quite correct because the imports are now relative to each other and i.e. pywayland.protocol.wayland is not used.

I suspect that this would be the correct way:

pywayland-scanner --with-protocols -i wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1.xml -o protocol

But then I get the above KeyError again.

pkg-config is available on my system:

xbps-query -l | grep pkg-config
ii pkg-config-0.29.2_3                           System for managing library compile/link flags

Any idea what I'm still doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
