I am trying to install XMR Stak CPU Miner on Raspberry PI 3 running Jessie , XMR Stak is to be built with CMAKE which requires c++ Compiler older than 5.1 but Raspberry comes with compiler version 4.9

Intall XMR-STAK-CPU - Electroneum
a very fast, cost-effective, open source solution. First off, we will have to install dependencies of the program. We will also have to compile it, so we need software for that, too. Run:
sudo apt install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential libhwloc-dev
Then, download the miner:
wget https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu/archive/master.zip
Unzip it:
unzip master.zip
Enter the new directory:
cd xmr-stak-cpu-master
Run CMake:
cmake .
After you’re done, install the miner:
make install
It should create a "bin” folder. Enter the folder:
cd bin
If Cmake gives error
cmake .
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:27 (message):
GCC version must be at least 5.1!
It means you have older C++ Compiler , Update compiler in Rasberry Pi 3 running Jessie
Open a Terminal and start by upgrading all your packages from the default Raspbian repository (depending on the speed of your Internet connection this could take some time):
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
Next, open /etc/apt/sources.list in your favorite editor and repalce jessie with stretch:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Update your package list:
sudo apt-get update
and, finally, install GCC 6:
sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6
Last step is to revert back from Stretch to Jessie, open /etc/apt/sources.list and replace stretch with jessie, after that do an update to refresh the package list:
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update
The above procedure will keep GCC 4.9 as the default C and C++ compiler for any package that depends on it, if you want to compile a program with GCC 6 you will have to use gcc-6 or g++-6 when invoking the compilers
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-6.1.0 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-6.1.0 .
