I am working on mlpack library (C++ machine learning library). I followed the steps of keon here: building mlpack, but i got the following error in cmd ,when i reached the last step which is building mlpack:

CMake Warning (dev) at CMakeLists.txt:51 (if):
Policy CMP0054 is not set: Only interpret if() arguments as variables or
keywords when unquoted. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0054" for policy
details. Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this
warning.
Quoted variables like "MSVC" will no longer be dereferenced when the policy
is set to NEW. Since the policy is not set the OLD behavior will be used.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

CMake Error at CMake/FindArmadillo.cmake:326 (message):
ARMADILLO_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND/armadillo_bits/config.hpp not found! Cannot
determine what to link against.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:189 (find_package)
You must have messed up your armadillo installation, to be more specific, you didn't specify the armadillo include dirs.
According to this more detailed instruction, point 10:
Specify the path of the libraries, dll and setup some definition, the details can found at here
So, you can try and add these lines to your mlpack's CMakeLists.txt:
set(ARMADILLO_LIBRARY "C:/Users/yyyy/Qt/3rdLibs/armadillo/armadillo-5.600.2/vc2015_build/bin/vc2015_x86_amd64/release")
set(ARMADILLO_INCLUDE_DIR "C:/Users/yyyy/Qt/3rdLibs/armadillo/armadillo-5.600.2/include")
