ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

To fix this issue I've changed the standard version with the following command:

sed -i 's#CXX_STANDARD 11#CXX_STANDARD 17#' CMakeLists.txt

Is this a good solution? If yes, could you, please, fix in the repository as well?

Note that CXX_STANDARD 17 instead of just CXX_STANDARD 14 is needed because /usr/include/unicode/stringpiece.h (at least since 75.1) also uses std::is_same_v that is c++17.

I believe your fix was applied in https://github.com/naelstrof/maim/commit/e7fe09b6734baeb59081b8805be542c92178cf0f.
