A question about vcpkg and pcl/visualization

first, I used :

./vcpkg install pcl

to install pcl. However, I don't notice that this command could not install vtk and use pcl/visualization. I succeed in installing and using pcl(except visualiztion). So, I try follow :

./vcpkg install pcl[vtk,qt] --rescure

Actually, when I wanted to use I could still not #include<pcl/visualiztion/..>

Solution

  • I had to run it the following way to fix this issue:

    vcpkg install pcl[vtk]:x64-windows --featurepackages --recurse

    Not sure whether x64-windows specifier is important, but keep in mind that VCPKG installs x86 libraries by default. Also please not that the option you have used is misspelled: it is --recurse, not --rescure.

    If you are using CMake, remember to use the toolchain file:

    cmake -B [build directory] -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
