CMake Error: Unrecognized "version" field

[geajack]

When I try to build following the instructions, upon running

./Meta/ladybird.sh run ladybird

I get

CMake Error: Could not read presets from /home/jack/Code/Ladybird/Codebase: Unrecognized "version" field

The only other command I ran to set the project up before running the shell script was what's shown in the guide:

sudo apt install autoconf autoconf-archive automake build-essential ccache cmake curl fonts-liberation2 git libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev nasm ninja-build pkg-config qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools qt6-wayland tar unzip zip

Ubuntu 22.04

CMake must be at least version 3.25. if your Cmake cannot read the CMakePresets.json, that's because it is too old.

maybe makes sense to add FATAL_ERROR for the required version in the start of CMakeLists.txt then? Would prevent such errors

[geajack]

I should have re-read the prereqs more carefully. But a more explicit error message would be cool

[ADKaster]

This error occurs when CMake reads the CMakePresets.json, which is before it reads CMakeLists.txt. We do have a required version check in the top CMakeLists.txt, but it won't help with this specific issue. We would need a duplicate version check in the ladybird.sh script to catch a version too old to parse the CMakePresets.json

Sorry I didn't know how to fix that. so just created new PR.
