I agree weboob is not relevant here.

No, the .cmake program tells cmake where to look for stuff, and how to  
set various variables used later in the cmake run.  To actually check,  
cmake creates a .c program (using hints and info from the .cmake file,  
and then tries to compile and link it.  (Some checks might be done with  
pkg_config)  Normally that fails if libical isn't found, or isn't a  
high enough version, for example.  Your error says " Unable to compile  
or run the libical version detection program." which seems like a  
different sort of problem.  I would look through the cmake --help  
output to see what parameters might provide additional details about  
what is actually failing.

This, however, might be the issue.  I'll have to try installing gcc 8  
and see how it works for me.  As a temporary fix, you might try using  
gcc 7.
