cmake configuration failed while building MRPT library - c++

Question

I am trying to install MRPT, especially commit 0c3d605c3c recommended in PL-SLAM documentation; however, I am consistently getting cmake error while building the repo. Is there any way to resolve this issue? Your help would be highly appreciable.

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:33 (cmake_policy):
The OLD behavior for policy CMP0026 will be removed from a future version
of CMake.
The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
specific short-term circumstances. Projects should be ported to the NEW
behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

There is a pending pull request here that fixes all those problems, but author hasn't merged it yet... Apparently he left for the industry and is too busy :-)
Checkout the code for that PR and give it a try.
Exactly the same happens with the dependency stvo-pl and this pr.
