## Requirements
### Running
* fontconfig
* freetype
* pixman
* wayland (_client_ and _cursor_ libraries)
* xkbcommon
* [tllist](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/tllist) [^1]
* [fcft](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fcft) [^1]
[^1]: can also be built as subprojects, in which case they are
statically linked.
### Building
In addition to the dev variant of the packages above, you need:
* meson
* ninja
* wayland protocols
* ncurses
* scdoc
A note on compilers; in general, foot runs **much** faster when
compiled with gcc instead of clang. A profile-guided gcc build can be
more than twice as fast as a clang build.
**Note** GCC 10.1 has a performance regression that severely affects
foot when doing PGO builds and building with `-O2`; it is about 30-40%
slower compared to GCC 9.3.
The work around is simple: make sure you build with `-O3`. This is the
default with `meson --buildtype=release`, but e.g. `makepkg` can
override it (`makepkg` uses `-O2` by default).
