Could NOT find Wayland when building OBS in Linux

[JanisE]

Hello!

I'm trying to build OBS Studio on Linux Mint 20.1 by "Debian-based Build Directions" on https://obsproject.com/wiki/install-instructions .

When I run cmake, the process ends with an error "Could NOT find Wayland (missing: WAYLAND_LIBRARIES WAYLAND_INCLUDE_DIRS)".

How can this be solved?

obs-studio/build$ cmake -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

The Wayland support is pretty new. So the documentation may be outdated for that. Probably you want to install "libwayland-dev" package.

Thank you! It worked.
