Wayland is a networking protocol, so you cannot build it (with a
compiler). What you can build is Weston, the reference implementation.
Have you read [1] and if so, how far did you get?

If you really have no experience, you should start by reading a good
book on Linux' system architecture and command-line tools; ideally while
you're trying to get Weston to build.

If you want to work on Linux graphics you also have to understand C. But
that can wait for later.

Best regards
Thomas
