Fails to compile on Debian Trixie; bundled libevdev fails to build (no known rule to make it)

Body

I am attempting to compile Sunshine on Debian Trixie. There are a few things that aren't supported yet (CUDA and doxygen) but these can be disabled and I don't need them. However, while the initial cmake step succeeds, ninja almost immediately fails when building the bundled libevdev, complaining that no rule exists to create the static library. This seems like a makefile issue with the bundled code, but I am not sure so asking here before reporting a bug.

cmake -Wno-dev -DBUILD_DOCS= -DSUNSHINE_ENABLE_CUDA=OFF -B build -G Ninja -S .

Ugh, I'm silly, but of course didn't realize until asking for help -- the issue can be worked around by installing libevdev-dev so that the bundled one does not need to be used.

It seems to me there is still a potential bug here in the build system as the bundled libevdev doesn't build correctly, but it can be worked around.

(And now at least there is an existing discussion of this that Google can help others find if they run into this.)

[ReenigneArcher]

We don't bundle libevdev. libevdev-dev is a compile time dependency.

[cdhowie]

Maybe bundled is the wrong word, but cmake attempts to fetch it and have it built in-tree if it's not on the system.

https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/a344e6cc69f500572d535c3e82f2d663a7ab7544/cmake/dependencies/libevdev_Sunshine.cmake#L15-L36

Something about this process breaks down in a non-obvious way.

[ReenigneArcher]

Did you reference the docs or the script mentioned? https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/latest/md_docs_2building.html#dependencies

It's listed as a dependency in the script.
