The warning you are referring to concerns the cmake version declaration. In the present case, it would appear that the cmake version you are using is a lot more recent than what deal.II requires. Newer cmake version tend to require you to have very high version number of cmake_minimum_required() for compatibility reason I suppose. In all cases, if your cmake configuration ran, everything should be fine.
regarding: make --jobs=4 install If you configured deal.II with ninja instead of make, then you would use the following command: ninja -j4 install ninja test Whether you use ninja or make to compile deal.II won't have any significant consequences on the outcome (although ninja is faster).
