Hello All,
 
I want to use Chrono's simulation as a third-party library plugin for Unreal to create a physics simulation system.

I encountered some issues while trying to build, compile, and install with CMake:
Regardless of whether I use CMake GUI or the CMake command, the Eigen header files are not included in the install directory.

The INSTALL file in the Eigen library states that it can be copied manually. However, I would prefer to initialize and install all the module contents correctly through the build system to ensure the proper installation of the plugin.

I found that the Unreal source code also has the Eigen library in its third-party folder. I did a rough comparison of the files provided by the official Eigen library and those in Unreal, and most files are essentially the same. However, when I tried to use CMake to call the Unreal third-party library to build the project, CMake did not report any errors. Yet, after the project was built and opened, I found that the INCLUDE could not reference the header files of the Eigen library.
