"Package x11 was not found in the pkg-config search path." when compiling godot for linux from sourc

I've been trying to compile godot 3.3.4-stable following this tutorial: ttps://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/development/compiling/compiling_for_x11.html

I've downloaded the source code for 3.3.4-stable and installed all the dependencies listed.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.03 LTS 64 bits with X11.

When I run the scons command the error "Package x11 was not found in the pkg-config search path." shows up.

I've googled this problem to no avail, and made sure I had all the dependencies installed.

I'm not sure where the missing file x11.pc should be or where it is.

The full error is:

scons: Reading SConscript files ... Package x11 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing x11.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'x11' found Automatically detected platform: x11 Invalid target platform "x11".

Have you restarted your computer after installing the dependencies? Sometimes a restart is required for libraries to be found on the console/terminal.

While this is a unrelated GitHub repository, a user has the same error output and using sudo apt install libx11-dev (the development libraries for x11) seems to fix it, so maybe that would work?

Thanks for the response, I just installed libx11-dev (but it was already installed) and restarted my pc, but it's still not working (same error).

I installed one by one all the dependencies without any issue, and reinstalled most of them to make sure.

I don't know why this is happening.
