Cannot set "VCG_INCLUDE_DIRS": current scope has no parent is a warning, you can ignore it.

the cmake configuration of vcg does not have an install rule, therefore just don't run install.
VCG is header only: just add the project directory in the include path, and include the header files you need.
If you have a cmake project, you can also use it by doing add_subdirectory and then linking the vcglib target.
