[pcl:arm64-uwp] compilation build failure

Describe the error

We have a custom PCL project we're using in a web service that we would much rather run directly on a Hololens 2 within Unity for our healthcare research project. We have discovered that arm64-windows is not sufficient, and that we need an arm64-uwp build in order to include it in our Unity3d application.

I ran the following command:

.\vcpkg install pcl:arm64-uwp --allow-unsupported

Please see the following issue created on vcpkg repo for command line results/errors. https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/31655

To Reproduce

Please see the following issue created on vcpkg repo to reproduce.
https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/31655

Mainly, I used similar commands that were successful, such as .\vcpkg install pcl:x64-windows .\vcpkg install pcl:arm64-windows

There's a full command line output plus log file attached.

Your Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11 Pro x64
• Compiler: MSVC - Visual Studio 17.6.1
• PCL Version 1.13
• PCL Type: Installed with VCPKG

If PCL was compiled from source or failure in compiling PCL itself:

• GPU, Kinfu, CUDA enabled? Default settings only.
• List and Version of dependencies used. Default settings only. Installed current version of PCL as of a few days ago.
• Compilation flags are used. This was through the magic of the build button in Visual Studio.

If compiling against PCL:

• Checked Configuration Manager in Visual Studio and reference the vckpg installed folder. This was configured correctly as I was able to compile for x64-windows and arm64-windows using the same environment.

Possible Solution

I would be willing to help make this a supported build, but it's been many years since I've worked in C++, and I'm not that familiar yet with the particulars of PCL compilation build process. Some guidance and direction on first steps would be tremendously helpful.

See my post on vcpkg - it fails already with building PCLs dependencies and hence not PCL itself. Though that will probably come, since we don't build for arm at all 😢

It succeeds for arm64-windows. It fails for arm64-uwp. Sounds like a lost cause then.

@adconk You could try to create a custom build of PCL while removing boost-filesystem as a dependency. boost-filesystem is mainly used in the modules apps, io, outofcore, tools, and visualization. If you disable the affected modules and/or rewrite the code that uses boost-filesystem to use std::filesystem (C++17) instead, you might be able to build without boost-filesystem.
