+## Build on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Wayland) Minimal Dependencies
+
+After extensive testing, the minimal set of dependencies required to build `cosmic-term` on Ubuntu 24.04 (Wayland) is as follows:
+
+1.  **Install Minimal Dependencies:**
+    ```bash
+    sudo apt install libxkbcommon-dev libwayland-dev pkg-config libgl-dev libegl1-mesa-dev
+    ```
+
+2.  **Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH:**
+    The build requires the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` to be explicitly set to resolve the `xkbcommon.pc` dependency. This step must be run in the terminal session before executing `cargo run`.
+    ```bash
+    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
+    ```
+
+3.  **Build and Run:**
+    ```bash
+    cargo run --release
+    ```
