Hi there,
I’m following the directions to build avogadro from source, using the entirely of the openchemistry module. However, I’m running into the following error:

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
No project() command is present. The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must
contain a literal, direct call to the project() command. Add a line of
code such as
project(ProjectName)
near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required().
CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first
line.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required() should be called prior to this top-level project()
call. Please see the cmake-commands(7) manual for usage documentation of
both commands.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 4.0)
should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower
if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more
information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".

make[2]: *** [thirdparty/msgpackc-prefix/src/msgpackc-stamp/msgpackc-configure] Error 1
make[1]: *** [thirdparty/CMakeFiles/msgpackc.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
I can actually fix this manually by editing the ./build/thirdparty/msgpack-c-cpp-3.1.0/CMakeLists.txt and adding a cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.19) at the top of that, but it seems like I shouldn’t need to do that since the top-level CMakeLists.txt in openchemistry sets that. If I do fix this manually, it progresses further until it hits a similar error for a different dependency.
Is there something obvious I’m doing wrong? I did some searches on the forums for related issues, and I can confirm that I am not building in the source tree. I’m on MacOS Sequoia (15.4.1), using CMake 4.0.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated – thanks!
