Unable to compile new project

[majster-pl]

Hi there,

I'm new here, I've followed all steps from readme page (planning to create simple applet for cosmic) but I got stuck on error for smithay-client-toolkit. I did some googling and I've already installed cmake and openssl but still no luck. I'm running this on fresh Pop OS 24.04 Cosmic alpha release (might not be a best idea?)

Any help would be appreciated :+1:
