Hi,

I am trying to compile this code on a machine without Wayland, and
even though I pass --disable-wayland on the configure script command
line, I get the following error:

checking for WAYLAND_SCANNER... no
configure: error: Package requirements (wayland-scanner) were not met:

No package 'wayland-scanner' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables WAYLAND_SCANNER_CFLAGS
and WAYLAND_SCANNER_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

>From what I can tell, the problem comes from the fact that the
aclocal.m4 shipped with the package contains the definition for the
WAYLAND_SCANNER_RULES macro, so the macro gets called
unconditionally. I believe the fix is to move the
m4_ifdef([WAYLAND_SCANNER_RULES] block in the 
if test "$enable_wayland" = "yes"
block above, but I can not really test this, because when I run
autoreconf on my system, the WAYLAND_SCANNER_RULES macro does not
get defined in aclocal.m4 , and so the problem disappears.

Regards.
