Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, the README.dependencies does state:
Libraries/Deps
--------------
  required              Version
  --------              _______
  cmake                 3.10                    Build system manager

and I do have 3.10 installed as you suspected.

% cmake --version
cmake version 3.10.2

So, I downloaded, built and installed cmake 3.11 into my /usr/local and can
confirm that I can now complete the cmake operation in the build process.
Since Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is now 5 years old and is going EOL next month I'd
say it's safe to just bump your cmake requirements to 3.11.  It looks like
3.11 was released 5 years ago already, but I don't know what other major
distros are on.

However, that being fixed, I am now running into issues building.  Pastebin
here:

Any ideas what is going on here?
