- Scroll sometimes freezes, but I don't know the reason. The log captured 6 hours and the frozen occurred. Scroll is self-build on FreeBSD. I changed
luatolua-5.4in meson.build and modified some include header positions. I don't build the dma-buf, because I don't have the linux/udmabuf.h.

I am going to move this to the Discussions board, so maybe someone can also give you some tips.
I cannot officially support FreeBSD, because I don't use it, and it would be very hard to fix bugs on a platform I don't use or have access to. That said, there is a package for sway in FreeBSD. scroll should build using the same procedure, except for the Lua issue you mention. Looking at how they build sway, and that the log shows some bus errors, I can only ask you whether you set the
basuoptional build argument:Have a look at the sway FreeBSD package and maybe you can find there something you didn't do when you built scroll
