apt-get is quite correct, there is no package named wayland.

The link points to the source code for wayland. If you want that use this command

Code: Select all

apt-get source wayland

Try

Code: Select all

apt-cache search wayland*
Take my advice, I'm not using it.

The answer is staring you in the face in the link you posted: you want one or more of those packages built from the wayland source.
