The compositor and clients will look for the Wayland socket in
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR but if that env var is not set, it will fall back to
'.'. XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is normally set to /var/run/user/$USER.  If it's
not set and you run the compositor from compositor/ and then cd into
clients/ to run the clients, the clients won't be able to find the
socket.  You can set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to /tmp if your system doesn't
set it or just run the compositor and clients from the same directory.
