Need to specify min cmake value on cmake 4

[DrWig]

On an apple silicon Mac and using the latest cmake (4.0.3) I need to respecify the minimum CMake value in order to get this to build (any cmake.txts set to a min less than 3.5 will fail now).

Also, it needs to be set to beyond 3.13 in order to build due to get round the "This is allowed only when policy CMP0079 is set to NEW." issue.

Hopefully this will save someone some time!

e.g.
cmake -B ./build -DBUILD_VST3=ON -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.13 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G Ninja

I was able to successfully compile the plugins, using a very similar fix as well as a few others; maybe this will be useful to someone too :)

I've put all my fixes as a step-by-step instructions: https://gist.github.com/mormegil6/65f94cd804b924531ec9ac135cd2b09b

Besides, were you able to compile the plugins only with the cmake minimum version, or did you have other errors as I did?

That looks super useful (it was simpler on Mac OS X 14 which I'm still on.). Thanks for sharing 😊 Cheers Bruce

Also, pushing the minimum cmake from 3.5 to 3.13 fixed other errors for me, so nothing else needed (on osx 14) Cheers Bruce

I'll check the compilation on my Mac 15.5 and update my gist if necessary! Thanks for the info :)

Unfortunately, changing the minimum cmake version from 3.5 to 3.13 generated the same error for me (MacOS 15.5):

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Apparently, the phraze ::template should no longer be there, and simply deleting it makes the compilation work (as in point 3 of my gist).

However, the issue I had in point 4 (the msse4.1 flag) did not occur with the minimum cmake version 3.13, so at least one error less!
