Add vcpkg installation instructions
NancyLi1013 opened this issue · 7 comments
pcl
is available as a port in vcpkg, a C++ library manager that simplifies installation for pcl
and other project dependencies. Documenting the install process here will help users get started by providing a single set of commands to build pcl
, ready to be included in their projects.
We also test whether our library ports build in various configurations (dynamic, static) on various platforms (OSX, Linux, Windows: x86, x64,arm,uwp) to keep a wide coverage for users.
I'm a maintainer for vcpkg, and here is what the port script looks like. We try to keep the library maintained as close as possible to the original library.
I'm trying to add vcpkg installation instructions but I couldn't find the related docs in code item.
It seems like the compiling tutorials were mentioned here.
Could you please help add the following contents to this port?
Installing and building pcl via vcpkg
You can download and install pcl using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) dependency manager:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
vcpkg install pcl
The pcl port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
Thanks,
Nancy
Thanks @NancyLi1013 (and the vcpkg team)
Thanks!
Could you please help add the following contents to this port?
I'm a bit confused though, where and who should add this?
I think: we should add vcpkg in the installation instructions, as an alternative to "from source" and "installers".
Marking this as stale due to 30 days of inactivity. It will be closed in 7 days if no further activity occurs.
Could someone help add the installation instructions?
Thanks in advance,
Nancy

Thanks for your help. I have checked the instructions you mentioned above. I agreed with you about the changes. As for the parts of vcpkg, users can find them in vcpkg site.
Thanks again for your time.
