Build Failure: libdm #449379
Description
Nixpkgs version
- Unstable (25.11)
Describe the bug
It seems like the CMake configuration in the project’s CMakeLists.txt is outdated; the minimum required version declared in the file is too old for the version of CMake being used during the Nix build.
Steps to reproduce
I just ran nixos-rebuild boot --flake .# --sudo.
Expected behaviour
Successful build.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.
Update the VERSION argument <min> value. Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.
Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.
