[PCL] install failure about vcpkg

[QiuYilin]

So, when will vcpkg update pcl now that pcl has updated?

[QiuYilin]

I also encountered this problem when I turn on cuda option.

Would be good to see the config logs.

Nevermind. Port vtk simply doesn't provide a vtk.pc file.

@dg0yt The script find_package(VTK) will use the vtk-config.cmake.

In my local build, the feature tools not enabled, since the post check failed due to the DLL that the tools depended on were not cleaned, but this does not affect this result.

Local install passed by the command vcpkg install pcl[apps,core,cuda,opengl,openni2,qt,simulation,visualization,vtk].

@Bzz2745 @QiuYilin Could you help provide the build logs?

Build Env

• VS 17.9.4
• Windows 11 23H2
• CUDA 11.8

@dg0yt The script find_package(VTK) will use the vtk-config.cmake.

@WangWeiLin-MV True, but unrelated to the problem. The CMake build is reported as successful:

-- Configuring x64-windows
-- Building x64-windows-dbg
-- Building x64-windows-rel

The problem is clearly raised in a following portfile step, due to an invalid pc file created by pcl.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `vtk.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Package 'vtk', required by 'pcl_gpu_kinfu_large_scale', not found

My PR removes the pc file. The pc files are incomplete anyways.
Upstream has PointCloudLibrary/pcl#5986 which removes the vtk dependency.

I'm facing the same problem again. Hope that vcpkg could update the port of pcl.

[dg0yt]

The port bug was fixed last month. If you still see the problem, make a proper new report, with all version information. You did update your vcpkg, didn't you?

[QiuYilin]

I see, I can use option "--head" .

I did, but it didn't work, and I fix this by manually modifying gpu/kinfu_large_scale/CMakeLists.txt as your PR. I will make a proper new report soon.

[dg0yt]

On a second look, it is visible why the fix in the port doesn't work. With a proper report, I would have looked at this already...
