make: *** [Makefile:1702: cmake_check_build_system] Error 1


I am on Ubuntu Focal Fossa.


CMake could not find it, and I could not find it.

There is no package name gtk+-3.0.  Any idea, in Fossa terms, what this missing library
set is named?  Or is there a compatibility issue on Fossa with the library search?

Also, are we happy with the detail in this error message?  I find it less than helpful,
because it did not help me solve the problem.

Thanks,

Dick
