Libwayland-client missing for Ubuntu 20.10

Platform
#1

When installing gtk4 on Ubuntu 20.10, the meson _build . instruction fails with the error below.
I have installed all wayland-client packages I could find: libwayland-client-extra++0, libwayland-bin, libwayland-client++0
Does anybody have a clue what I am missing?

Dependency gtk-doc from subproject subprojects/gtk-doc found: YES 1.33.2
Dependency tracker-sparql-3.0 skipped: feature tracker disabled
Dependency colord skipped: feature colord disabled
Dependency cairo-xlib found: YES 1.16.0 (cached)
Dependency cairo found: YES 1.16.0 (cached)
Run-time dependency cairo-script-interpreter found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
Library cairo-script-interpreter found: YES
Run-time dependency wayland-client found: NO (tried pkgconfig)

meson.build:462:2: ERROR: Dependency "wayland-client" not found, tried pkgconfig
#2

Most likely libwayland-dev

#3

Thank you for the fast response, it worked and I figured out a few more steps.

I am trying to build gtk 4 using the readme:
$ meson _build .
$ cd _build
$ ninja
Currently I’ve got a couple of fails on the ninja step. I’m sure I’ll get there, but there are a lot of moving parts…

You want libegl-dev.

GTK cannot use Mesa as a sub-project, so you will need to install some system dependencies.
