compile pointmatch wrapper

[821736960]

Sorry to bother.

Issue Details

I have installed CGAL 5.1.1 through vcpkg, openGR, libpointmatcher. And I want to compile the example: CGAL-5.1.2-examples-Point_set_processing_3.

For OpenGR wrapper, I just set OpenGR_DIR(at cmake-gui) as E:/OpenGR/build and the examples related to OpenGR can run well.

But for Libpointmatcher wrapper, I set (actually it set itself automatically) libpointmatcher_DIR(at cmake-gui) as E:/libpointmatcher-1.3.1/libpointmatcher-1.3.1/build , and the complile is failed.

@maxGimeno just has just spend some time on this and could not reproduce the issue.

What version of CMake do you use? Also, can you show the content of the generated libpointmatcherConfig.cmake in the build dir of pointmatcher?

My cmake version is 3.17.2. And I install libpointmatcher following its official instructions in github. And the CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES is RelWithDebInfo
The content of libpointmatcherConfig.cmake is

# - Config file for the libpointmatcher package
# It defines the following variables
#  libpointmatcher_INCLUDE_DIRS - include directories for pointmatcher
#  libpointmatcher_LIBRARIES    - libraries to link against

You could try building the shared libs instead of the default static libs. Try rerunning cmake with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON and re-building libpointmatcher.

I tried to add BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON at cmake-gui when compile libpointmatcher. But it even can not compile successfully.

[maxGimeno]

can you share the errors you get ?

[821736960]

can you share the errors you get ?

I follow the steps strictly as the official instructions.https://github.com/ethz-asl/libpointmatcher/blob/master/doc/CompilationWindows.md.
And then add BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON at cmake-gui,(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=True still exists)
The cmake results is as follows, the official instructions also has these warnings so I think it doesnot matter:

Configuring done`

Then I click generate and open it in VS 2019. when I try to build, it failed:

14>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: 无法打开文件“..\contrib\RelWithDebInfo\gtest.lib” 14>已完成生成项目“utest.vcxproj”的操作 - 失败。 15>------ 已启动全部重新生成: 项目: ALL_BUILD, 配置: RelWithDebInfo x64 ------ 15>Building Custom Rule E:/libpointmatcher-1.3.1/libpointmatcher-1.3.1/CMakeLists.txt 16>------ 已跳过全部重新生成: 项目: INSTALL, 配置: RelWithDebInfo x64 ------ 16>没有为此解决方案配置选中要生成的项目 ========== 全部重新生成: 成功 5 个，失败 9 个，跳过 2 个 ==========

By the way, I only compile and buid the libpointmatcher, not install it, does that matters?

[maxGimeno]

No, the installation doesn't matter.

[maxGimeno]

If I understand correctly your error, you are trying to build the target INSTALL, when you should be building ALL_BUILD

[821736960]

If I understand correctly your error, you are trying to build the target INSTALL, when you should be building ALL_BUILD

I click at toolbar:build--build solutions.
If not add BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON at cmake-gui, it could build successfully.
If add BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON at cmake-gui, it failed.
I also tried build--All_BUILD, it also failed.
I think the error is about the "optimized" in libpointmatcherConfig.cmake.

I think you are trying to build CGAL examples in debug, but feeding it releases libraries, or something like this. "optimized" is a keyword generated by visual tu specify it is a "release" version of a lib, as it is a multi configuration compiler. I don't think this keyword is used with shared libs, which is why I wanted you to try.

I have compiled, built, installed the libpointmatcher, and done its tutorial. So probably it's not a libpointmatcher issue.

Note that when compile libnabo, , the Variable SHARED_LIBS is set to False.

When compile libpointmatcher, the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is set to Release, CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES is set to RelWithDebInfo.

When compile CGAL-5.1.2/examples/Point_set_processing_3, I dont see CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, and CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES is set to Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo.

[maxGimeno]

Is it possible for you to try with a more recent version of boost ? >1.70 preferably.

[maxGimeno]

Ok, I found out exactly what happens.
Pointmatcher forwards the boost_libraries in its own pointmatcher_LIBRARIES, and as you are using an old version of Boost (<1.70), Find_boost generates the unwanted keywords, as documented in cmake. Our CGAL_pointmatcher_support.cmake script, that aims to gather all pointmatcher dependencies for use with CGAL, uses a syntax that doesn't allow such keywords, but as we all use modern boost we did not see the problem sooner.
I'll produce a patch, but you might want to upgrade to boost 1.71 or 1.73 to not having to wait for several months untill the next bug fix release.

Thanks. Just now I update my boost version from 1.66 to 1.70 and compile libpointmatcher again. Unluckly, even libpointmatcher cannot work. So sad.

[maxGimeno]

I did it with boost 1.73 without problem. Maybe utest and gtest didn't build but you won't need them.

Note that when install libpointmatcher I installed boost with exe files rather than .zip file( with ./booststrap.bat, ./b2.exe command). Because if I use the latter method, the libpointmatcher won't work(I dont know why).

Today I have tried to install boost 1.71 with exe files, finally the libpointmatcher can work again.
But when compiling with CGAL, the issue
CMake Error at E:/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/share/cgal/CGAL_pointmatcher_support.cmake:3 (set_target_properties): Property INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES may not contain link-type keyword "optimized".

still exists.

[yskn-github]

I had the same problem.
I use cmake-gui to generate Visual Studio 2019 solution.

"optimized" apears in CMake variable (such as LibLZMA_LIBRARIES).

I found:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55459078/cmake-cannot-open-file-optimized-lib-when-trying-to-add-boost-process
This problem is similar to the above.

I searched for such usage cmake files under cgal root dirctory and found:
cgal/Installation/cmake/modules/CGAL_pointmatcher_support.cmake: target_link_libraries(CGAL::pointmatcher_support INTERFACE "${libpointmatcher_LIBRARIES}")

Removing double quote and building , it works.

This issue can affect the following example:

• cgal/Point_set_processing_3/examples/Point_set_processing_3/registration_with_pointmatcher.cpp
• cgal/Point_set_processing_3/examples/Point_set_processing_3/registration_with_opengr_pointmatcher_pipeline.cpp

[lrineau]

Thanks @yskn-github. I think you have spotted the issue, and I agree with you that there should not be any quote around ${libpointmatcher_LIBRARIES}. I will submit a pull-request.

[lrineau]

@yskn-github @821736960 I hope this bug will be fixed by #6007. Unfortunately, it is too late for the release series 5.1.x, that is closed. The fix will be available in 5.2.x and later releases.
