Help with building openwrt19

Hello, community. I am trying to build OpenWRT 19 on Ubuntu 24.04 and I am encountering a CMake compilation error:

I suspect this is due to newer versions of dependencies, particularly GCC and G++ 14. Could this be related? To build OpenWRT 19, do I need to look for older versions of packages, or can I set some compatibility flag?

I'm a beginner trying to build OpenWRT for the first time (OpenWRT 23 built successfully with the same dependencies), but I specifically need version 19. Where should I look to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for your help ; - ;

CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_mt76x8=y if that means

Have you tried Ubuntu 18 or 20 (i.e., the version that existed when OpenWrt 19 was released)?
