Well, that was part of the problem. In a brand new build directory cmake said:

-- Poppler Version:22.02.0
-- C++17 is the minimum C++ standard since poppler 22.01.0
CMake Error at CMakeLists_Dependencies.cmake:312 (message):
  Please set -DWANT_CPP17=ON on your CMake command line

Sol I added -DWANT_CPP17=ON, reran cmake, and it completed. Then, after much building, make failed with a slightly different error about PDF imports:

make[2]: *** [scribus/plugins/import/pdf/CMakeFiles/importpdf.dir/build.make:140: scribus/plugins/import/pdf/CMakeFiles/importpdf.dir/slaoutput.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:4325: scribus/plugins/import/pdf/CMakeFiles/importpdf.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:156: all] Error 2

I blew away the build directory again and started over, this time adding -DWANT_CPP17=ON to cmake right away, but, although cmake now runs fine, make still fails as above.
