Synergy-core: Xtst missing?

Synergy Version

1.8.π / synergy-stable-builds-c30301e

Trying to build from source.

Steps to reproduce bug

Running ./hm.sh conf -g1 a couple of times I dug up some missing dependencies, but Xtst is proving highly unpleasant ...

I installed libxtst-dev and libxext-dev using apt, but cmake still claims that Xtst is not present.

./hm.sh conf -g1
Mapping command: conf -> configure
cmake version 3.5.1

problem I was impatient and ran the cmake .. command before apt-get finished installing all dependencies, and got the same error: Missing library: Xtst.

solution I resolved this by clearing the entire build folder and running cmake .. again after all dependencies were installed.

explanation Probably the build-directory caches some results from previously failed cmake .. commands.

I have installed libxtst-dev and libxext-dev using apt but CMake still says it's not present.
