Use pointmatcher with CGAL fail

linbeijianbaoxia commented 5 months ago

I tried to run the PointMatcher example program from CGAL's Point Set Processing: https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Point_set_processing_3/index.html#Point_set_processing_3Examples_registration_PointMatcher. I have successfully installed libpointmatcher, version 1.3.1. When I tried to compile the example project using CMake, find_package(libpointmatcher QUIET) also successfully found my libpointmatcher library, but it seems that if(TARGET CGAL::pointmatcher_support) did not pass, resulting in the corresponding project not being compiled. This has confused me about where the problem lies. Below is the information output during CMake compilation:

Could NOT find Boost (missing: program_options) (found version "1.83.0")
NOTICE: the libpointmatcher library requires the following boost components: thread filesystem system program_options date_time chrono.
NOTICE: registration with pointmatcher requires libpointmatcher and will not be compiled.
NOTICE: registration with OpenGR and pointmatcher requires both libpointmatcher and OpenGR, and will not be compiled.
Configuring done

I'm not sure if it's related to the Boost version, as my CGAL was installed directly using vcpkg.

C:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/share/cgal/CGAL_pointmatcher_support.cmake searchs for dependencies of libpointmatcher. And we see in your log that it displays:

NOTICE: the libpointmatcher library requires the following boost components: thread filesystem system program_options date_time chrono.

Part of Boost libraries are not found correctly.

@lrineau Thank you very much for your suggestion, I will give it a try.
