You may also set BUILD_TESTING=on.
I just tried, it failed with
  [ 85%] Building CXX object
core/vnl/tests/CMakeFiles/vnl_test_all.dir/test_sparse_matrix.o
  Linking CXX executable vnl_test_all
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvpl
But building tests seemed to be pretty light, it may be worth fixing
that to ensure that libvxl is usable.
