Makie on Wayland

Arch Version: 5.7.7-arch1-1
Sway Version: 1:1.4-9
Julia Version: 1.4.1
Makie Version: 0.9.5

I am on arch linux, wayland using the swaywm.
I'm having issues installing and running Makie on Wayland.
Running ]build Makie runs into an error whilst building GLMakie:

Error: Error building `GLMakie`: 
│ libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open iris (search paths /usr/lib/dri)
│ libGL error: failed to load driver: iris
│ libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib/dri)
│ libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
│ init error of GLFW
│ ERROR: LoadError: OpenGL/GLFW wasn't installed correctly. This likely means,
│ you don't have an OpenGL capable Graphic Card,
│ you don't have the newest video driver installed,
│ or the GLFW build failed. If you're on linux and `]build` GLFW failed,
│ try manually adding `sudo apt-get install libglfw3` and then `]build GLMakie`.
│ If you're on a headless server, you still need to install x-server and
│ proper GPU drivers. You can take inspiration from this article
│ on how to get Makie running on a headless system:
│ https://nextjournal.com/sdanisch/makie-1.0
│ If you don't have a GPU, there is also a Cairo software backend
│ for Makie which you can use:
│ https://github.com/JuliaPlots/CairoMakie.jl.
│ Please check the below error and open an issue at:
│ https://github.com/JuliaPlots/GLMakie.jl.
│ After you fixed your OpenGL install, please run `]build GLMakie` again!
│ GLMakie will still load, but will be disabled as a default backend for Makie

Output of glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version":

OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 20.1.3

I have installed the community glfw-wayland version 3.3.2-1 from the AUR.

Is it possible to install Makie on Wayland? If so, what needs to happen?
