Could not find mmal libraries

[Tobit-Zander]

Hello,
during cmake . I get the following output:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:4 (CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED):
Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.

Update the VERSION argument value or use a ... suffix to tell
CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

What can I do to fix this issue?

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB RAM and raspberry Pi OS.
I already have openCV installed.

thx.

Anyone solved it?

MMAL was removed from the raspberry pi about 4 years ago. SO this lib will no longer work. Raspberry pi is now using libcamera for the camera interface.
