Can't build lmms

Help
1

build behavior on my system; the output is the same in nix-shell -p lmms and nixos-rebuild switch with lmms in environment.systemPackages:

  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.
