Thanks, Lydia and Landry, for the feedback.
Here's my next attempt:
* Add modules for niri as alternative to the sway modules
That should work for both niri and sway-compatible compositors
* Comment mpd, upower as per Landry's suggestion
* Remove "keyboard-state" section because
[warning] module keyboard-state: Unknown module: keyboard-state
* Remove "network" because
[warning] module network: Unknown module: network
* Remove power-profiles-daemon, battery because they are not being built
* Remove "custom/media" since it depends on a missing script
* Still remove module pulseaudio, because it's not getting built
(-Dpulseaudio=disabled)
* Fixes Clock "argument not found error" (calendar popup doesn't work on
OpenBSD)
* Fix sndio example configuration
* Replace temperature by "custom/temperature" that uses sysctl instead of /sys/
(I don't have an AMD CPU around to test - will probably need tweaking there)
* Replace battery by "custom/battery" that uses apm to show battery percentage
* Change to a simpler custom/power that doesn't depend on an otherwise missing
menu configuration
* Not tested: backlight, tray
While not full-featured, I think that's a sensible configuration that provides
a useful starting point for customizations, isn't too opinionated, and doesn't
invite attempts to configure missing modules.
