Cmake is not part of elementary-sdk

[0xfalafel]

What Happened?

I installed the package elementary-sdk in elementary Horus.

cmake is a dependency needed to build most elementary package, but it wasn't part of elementary-sdk.

Steps to Reproduce

1. git clone https://github.com/elementary/videos.git && cd videos
2. sudo apt install elementary-sdk
3. $ meson build --prefix=/usr

CMake is not required here. This is just meson warning that it can't use cmake to find dependencies.

The actual error is this:

src/meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Dependency "clutter-gst-3.0" not found, tried pkgconfig

So you're missing the clutter-gst-3.0 dependency, which is not in the SDK. The SDK only contains dependencies that are common to most/all elementary applications.

You can see the list of required packages to build an app in its README file.
