I tried to reinstall cmake in my account. But now I am getting this error: the command:

cmake ./..

the error: CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required): Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of CMake.

Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

did you find any solution? The only thing that worked for me was to use the R-package on a Linux server but I had to > conda deactivate before starting the session.

Add parentheses. Change it to

print(sysconfig.get_python_inc()).

There are three places you need to modify.
