Looks like a CMake too far - elsewhere I hit up a recommendation (from CMake 3.29.x) to set a minimum of 3.5.0 IIRC - and some of the build jobs are borking because they are using 3.20.1. 🤷‍♂️

That is because at the moment we explicitly install cmake 3.20.1: https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/blob/development/.github/workflows/build-mudlet.yml#L89-L91

Just for the record I can confirm that Devuan 5 (equivalent to Debian 12) is providing CMake version 3.25.1). FreeBSD is at least 3.30.5 for top tier processors (i386, amd64, arm7, aarch64).

However something looks broken in the MacOS (arm64) build:

leading, I think, to this:

It was a transient error on the part of Apple's infrastructure, re-running the build a few times worked.
