Yesterday I was a user of Ubuntu 15.04 and I could not build blender.
blender depends on openexr 2.2 which only appears in 15.10:

 http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openexr

So, already you can't build blender on an ubuntu release which was 'the
most recent ubuntu release' 3 weeks ago!

You need to either upgrade to 15.10 (that's what I did), or install the
new version of openexr some other way on 15.04.

I don't see why cmake should be handled particularly differently.

Ubuntu 15.10 has CMake 3.2.2.

Thanks,

Steve.
