Installation fails due to CMAKE versioning issue

[Mr-M1M3]

I tried to install OBK using PARU (aur helper). However, the installation fails due to the following error:

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.

My system:

OS: Manjaro
DM: GNOME 49

Steps to reproduce

1. install paru
2. run paru -S openbangla-keyboard
3. wait

I think, this can be partially fixed by this repository too, the PKGBUILD is using GitHub releases source code. And the latest source was published 6 years ago, which still requires cmake 3.0.2. And, currently in master branch it's 3.10.

@codayon can you give me the link of the PKGBUILD?

aur/openbangla-keyboard follows stable upstream tag... try aur/openbangla-keyboard-git - Mubashshir

@Mr-M1M3 Can you try installing the aur/openbangla-keyboard-git package?
