Outdated due to depending on an old cmake version:

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

If I try to downgrade cmake to 3.29, it depends on an old libjsoncpp (which other things depend on as well, so downgrading that has consequences), and there is the trouble with FindBoost which this package also needs:

cmake --help-policy CMP0167
CMP0167
-------

.. versionadded:: 3.30

The ``FindBoost`` module is removed.

CMake 3.29 and below provide a ``FindBoost`` module, but it needs constant
updates to keep up with upstream Boost releases.  Upstream Boost 1.70
and above provide a ``BoostConfig.cmake`` package configuration file.
``find_package(Boost CONFIG)`` finds the upstream package directly,
without the find module.

CMake 3.30 and above prefer to not provide the ``FindBoost`` module
so that ``find_package(Boost)`` calls, without the ``CONFIG`` or
``NO_MODULE`` options, find the upstream ``BoostConfig.cmake`` directly.
This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been ported
to use the upstream Boost package.

And that comes up even if I change PKGBUILD to add the -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 flag:

- Detecting CXX compile features - done
CMake Warning (dev) at CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package):
  Policy CMP0167 is not set: The FindBoost module is removed.  Run "cmake
  --help-policy CMP0167" for policy details.  Use the cmake_policy command to
  set the policy and suppress this warning.

This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Hello,

• variables should start with an underscore (_)
• depends don't have to be makedepends
• missing maintainer info
• boost don't seem a depends, typically it is a mekedepends and the package depends on boost-libs if needed
