Error building on Ubuntu 18.04

Ubuntu: 18.04
nvcc: 9.1
gcc: 6.1

Hi, I created a new virtual environment with conda (version 4.11) and I followed the instructions to build surfelwarp on ubuntu 18:

• Firstly I tried to install eigen included in external/eigen3.4, so I created a buid folder and I did cmake, which completed the procedure but with some bad results, for instance:

  • abort: repository /home/davide/python_folder/issue/surfelwarp/external/eigen3.4 not found!;
  • but also some tests failed and some packages were not found.
    Here for the complete report.

  I moved on following the suggestion on the terminal to modify the install location of eigen headers using: cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=yourprefix and cmake . -DINCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR=yourdir, in order to install them in external/eigen3.4 (I set both yourprefix and yourdir to external/eigen3.4).
  In both cases I still got:
  abort: repository /home/davide/python_folder/issue/surfelwarp/external/eigen3.4 not found!

  make install performed with no errors.

• Then I tried to install Pangolin. I followed the instructions related to cmake but I received the following warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
  EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR
  and make stopped with: /home/davide/python_folder/issue/Pangolin/components/pango_vars/include/pangolin/var/varstate.h:33:15: fatal error: any: No such file or directory
