Wlroots not installing

Hello, some context: I recently decided to build dwl and it has wlroots as a requirement, so I ran sudo zypper in wlroots, which returns
'wlroots' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'wlroots' found.
So I serached for it using sudo zypper search wlroots, and it returns a lot of things, but most importantly (i think)
| wlroots | Modular Wayland compositor library | srcpackage

When I try to copy the name from the terminal and install it again it still says that it cannot be found.

I am not sure what type of logs I have to attach, but if any of you think that something is important I will provide it.

Thanks in advance.

It is source package. You do not install source packages - they are used to build binary packages that are installable. Usually multiple binary packages are built from the same source package and their names need not match the source package name.

Try wlroots-devel.
