The CMakeLists.txt in the .\vcpkg\buildtrees\pcl\src\pcl-1.13.1-38090574eb.clean folder defines PCL_ONLY_CORE_POINT_TYPES by default, for both MSVC and MINGW. But I need to build PCL for all point types.
If I edit the CMakeLists.txt file to remove the declaration...
add_definitions("-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -DNOMINMAX ${SSE_DEFINITIONS}")
#add_definitions("-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -DNOMINMAX -DPCL_ONLY_CORE_POINT_TYPES ${SSE_DEFINITIONS}")
...and run VCPKG using the --editable option...
.\vcpkg install pcl[vtk]:x64-windows --featurepackages --recurse --editable pcl
...I get the following build error...
-- Configuring x64-windows

How do I get around this problem?
You did not post install-x64-windows-dbg-out.log mentioned in the error message, so I can't say for sure, but it might be that there are too many symbols to handle for the MSVC linker. Related: https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/issues/5928
Why do you need to build PCL for all point types? I.e. which point type do you need that is not contained in the library otherwise? Using #define PCL_NO_PRECOMPILE might be a solution for you.
