[Buildroot] [PATCH] support/dependencies: require at least CMake 3.8

[Yann E. MORIN]

Thomas, All,

On 2018-12-31 17:26 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> The json-for-modern-cpp package unfortunately now requires CMake >=
> 3.8, so we need to bump our requirement from 3.1 to 3.8. If the host
> doesn't have a CMake >= 3.8, Buildroot will build its own host-cmake
> package.

The upstream commit that bumped the requirement to cmake 3.8 states:

    Using target_compile_features to specify C++ 11 standard
    https://github.com/nlohmann/json/commit/73cc5089e33ea950b6677e19ee7ec656c9bcf985

However, target_compile_features has been available even since 3.1 at
least:

    https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/command/target_compile_features.html

I'll kick-start a build with a patched json-for-modern-cpp, to see if we
can stay on 3.1.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
