occt 7.2/7.4 build error: cannot find -lXmu

I installed these dependencies:

• glu 9.0.1
• freeglut 3.2.1
• tcl 8.6.10
• tk 8.6.10

Then when I build opencascade 7.4, extracted from the last release, the build stop at 36% without a clear error message:

# [ 36%] Linking CXX shared library ../../lin64/gcc/lib/libTKShHealing.so
# [ 36%] Built target TKShHealing
# make: *** [Makefile:130: all] Error 2
# Error: module oce: Child process exited with code 2

Note: when building occt 7.2 I'm facing an other problem (#728) (edit: probably not related).

After redirecting stderr to a file, I found the error message (which was hidden by some really verbose unfinished jobs):

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/9.2.0/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [src/TKService/CMakeFiles/TKService.dir/build.make:440: lin64/gcc/lib/libTKService.so.7.2.0] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1190: src/TKService/CMakeFiles/TKService.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This error appears on both occt 7.2 and 7.4

As suggested here I ran ld -lXmu --verbose:

[...]
ld: mode elf_x86_64

So libxmu was missing, installing it fixed the problem.
