I don't understand what the "directly use the cmake binary" means.
When cmake is needed, have cmake in the build environment ...

And I don't understand the problem :-/
Is the problem
Upstream saying "cmake 3.18 meter long works for us" and
Yunmei asking "Will cmake of size 3.16 meter be long enough?"
or
Upstream saying "We us features from cmake that first appeared in 3.18"
and Yunmei reporting "I did one attempt and got some build error"
?

There is no need for alienating people that have a question
about building .debs
In http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html is documented
that it is OK to ignore questions that don't deserve your time.
Show the world that you understand
that this is the mailinglinglist debian-mentors@lists.debian.org
