-Subject: [PATCH] tests: test-runner needs wayland-client
-
-weston-test-runner.h includes wayland-util.h, therefore it needs
-wayland-client. A partial dependency with just compile_args might have been
-enough as it does not seem to use functions from wayland-util.c, but safer this
-way and no harm.
-
-Fixes: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2020-January/041149.html
