[unnamed2]

Describe the bug

#include <pcl/visualization/cloud_viewer.h>

got fatal error C1083: “vtkSmartPointer.h”: No such file or directory

Environment

• OS: Windows11, 22000.613
• Compiler: VS2022(17.1.4)
• package pcl[vtk]

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ./vcpkg install pcl[vtk]:x64-windows

2. #include <pcl/visualization/cloud_viewer.h>

3. compile error

Expected behavior build success

Failure logs A:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\include\pcl\visualization\point_cloud_geometry_handlers.h(49,10): fatal error C1083: 无法打开包括文件: “vtkSmartPointer.h”: No such file or directory

vtkSmartPointer.h can be included by

About your repro step 2 and 3, did you do them in a cmake project or a visual studio empty project? Could you please provide me with your repro project?

[unnamed2]

@Cheney-W visual studio empty project，Creating a new console application and then replacing the contents of the generated cpp with the following line of code generates such an error.

#include <pcl/visualization/cloud_viewer.h>

I just tried the cmake project and found that the cmake project did not have such a problem.

Here's the project I created

[Cheney-W]

Thanks for your reply! I could reproduce this issue in my side.

[Linhuihang]

same question i have

[mcelhennyi]

This happened to me as well. 1.12.1 build. Ubuntu 18.04

[best-pureer]

没办法，pcl内部的vtk include path和vcpkg的include格式不适配，只能手动添加vtk的include path和lib path

[LOUYIJITUAN]

解决方案（"VS属性设置-通用属性-VC++目录-包含目录"） 添加路径 *\3rdParty\VTK\include\vtk-9.1

之前配置页信息可能为：

D:\PCL 1.12.1\include\pcl-1.12 D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\Boost\include\boost-1_78 D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\Eigen\eigen3 D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\FLANN\include D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\Qhull\include D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\OpenNI2\Include D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\VTK\include

修改后的配置页信息

D:\PCL 1.12.1\include\pcl-1.12 D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\Boost\include\boost-1_78 D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\Eigen\eigen3 D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\FLANN\include D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\Qhull\include D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\OpenNI2\Include D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\VTK\include D:\PCL 1.12.1\3rdParty\VTK\include\vtk-9.1

I tested the latest version of vcpkg, and this problem should be solved, and the compilation result is normal by referring to the header file #include <pcl/visualization/cloud_viewer.h>.

[bisalgt]

I am not able to solve this issue in mac m1. Please let me know if any solutions

[ZhangYazhengCN]

The version of vcpkg is newest, but still have the same question. Waiting for a solution which needn't import the lib path in the project's property pages.

notes: windows10, VS2019, manifest mode

[njk42]

Same problem for me. Win 10, manifest mode, VS2022, MSBuild project.

The relevant part of my vcpkg.json is:

{
  "name": "pcl",
  "default-features": true,
  "features": ["visualization", "vtk"]
}

The issue appears to be that vcpkg installs the missing header in "../vcpkg_installed///include/vtk-9.2" rather than ""../vcpkg_installed///include/" which is the include directory that MSVC is searching.

This issue does still exist for vtk. I have similar issues with with librsvg, glib, gdk-pixbuf and cairo.

Workarounds which work for me:

$(VcpkgInstalledDir)\$(VcpkgTriplet)\include\vtk-9.3;
$(VcpkgInstalledDir)\$(VcpkgTriplet)\include\librsvg-2.0;
$(VcpkgInstalledDir)\$(VcpkgTriplet)\include\glib-2.0;$(VcpkgInstalledDir)\$(VcpkgTriplet)\lib\glib-2.0\include;
$(VcpkgInstalledDir)\$(VcpkgTriplet)\include\gdk-pixbuf-2.0;
$(VcpkgInstalledDir)\$(VcpkgTriplet)\include\cairo;

This was tested on the master branch today (03.06.2024).
