You need libinput.

the build was succesfull but whenever i run it from tty my monitor was turned off then i press any keys or move mouse theres nothing happens, the monitor keeps off

[tomysurya]

Something like niri >niri.log 2>&1

[tomysurya]

when i type niri on my tty the monitor goes off i can't do nothing

[YaLTeR]

When that happens, press Super+Shift+E then Enter to exit niri and send the log file here

Here's a working (for me) template for niri

I don't know what is needed in depends, because I already have stuff installed, so it "just works" on my machine.

Since you mentioned missing libraries: you can do something like:

ldd -r `which niri`

If it says something "not found", do a xlocate on that library to find the package providing it, add this to depends. Build again, xi -f niri, try again.
