I'm hesitant to require newer cmake version higher then 2.8 because: "2.8.12 is the version shipped starting from Ubuntu Trusty (April 2014) or Debian Jessie (April 2015). Other Linux distributions released at approximately the same time have typically newer versions. So that's where we would cut off. Ubuntu Precise (cmake 2.8.7) goes EOL in April 2017, Debian Wheezy (cmake 2.8.9) in May 2018, so probably its a good idea to stay compatible with 2.8.9 until at least next year."

CMake 3.5 was backported to Trusty a few months ago: https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/cmake3.

This additionally needs a $<INSTALL_INTERFACE:include> to export an include directory in the install case.

Isn't that what

install(TARGETS ...
  INCLUDES DESTINATION include
)

is supposed to do here?

From the documentation:

INCLUDES DESTINATION
This option specifies a list of directories which will be added to the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property of the <targets> when exported by the install(EXPORT) command. If a relative path is specified, it is treated as relative to the $<INSTALL_PREFIX>.

So probably both are valid approaches to achieve the same at the end. But having both might be redundant.

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(orocos-kdl PUBLIC ${Boost_LIBRARIES} Eigen3::Eigen)

This target was introduced in Eigen 3.3.1, you'll need to add some fallback behavior (if(TARGET Eigen3::Eigen)...else()...endif()).

Sorry for the (very) long absence, is this still relevant?

Since KDL doesn't enforce a minimum version, anyone trying to use Eigen<3.3.1 can experience errors, so I think this is still an issue. However, you could just tweak FindEigen3.cmake so that modern CMake targets are made available for use both by KDL itself and projects consuming KDL (make sure this gives precedence to the local file or just add OR NOT TARGET Eigen3::Eigen in the if clause). See upstream find module, especially the last few lines:

if(EIGEN3_FOUND AND NOT TARGET Eigen3::Eigen)
  add_library(Eigen3::Eigen INTERFACE IMPORTED)
  set_target_properties(Eigen3::Eigen PROPERTIES
    INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${EIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR}")
endif()

currently if Eigen is not found there is no error? Adding eigen with the TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES will print an error when generating.

If Eigen is a required dependency, there should be a check somewhere else (and before those lines) to issue an error. I wouldn't delegate such responsibility to the target_link_libraries call, typically you would use find_package(<pkg> REQUIRED) or a simple if(NOT <pkg>_FOUND)-then-message(FATAL_ERROR ...) condition instead.
