サンプルプログラムの作成

PCL1.8ではCMakeを使ってプロジェクトを作成することを推奨しているよう

Using PCL in your own projectに従ってプロジェクトを作成すればいいかと

サンプルプログラムの作成(WinApi)

32bit用環境構築が必要?
CMakeListsからWin32Api用の設定を行う必要があります

以下のコードを書き込んでCMake

自分用のコードなので非常に汚いです。

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6 FATAL_ERROR)
project(MY_GRAND_PROJECT)
find_package(PCL 1.8 REQUIRED COMPONENTS common io)
set(GUI_TYPE WIN32)
set(HDR)
set(RES)

add_definitions(-DWIN32 -D_WINDOWS -D_UNICODE -DUNICODE)
include_directories(${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${PCL_LIBRARY_DIRS})
add_definitions(${PCL_DEFINITIONS})
add_executable(pcd_write_test pcd_write.cpp)
target_link_libraries(pcd_write_test ${PCL_COMMON_LIBRARIES} ${PCL_IO_LIBRARIES})

set(SRC pcd_write.cpp)
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01")

add_custom_target(${CMAKE_PROJECT}_HEADERS SOURCES ${HDR})

add_executable(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} ${GUI_TYPE} ${SRC} ${RES})

pcd_write.cpp

# include <Windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
	MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Kitty on your lap"),
		TEXT("メッセージボックス"),
		MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
    return 0;
}

CMP0054

CMakeでpclをConfigureするときに発生

CMake Warning (dev) at C:/Program Files/VTK/lib/cmake/vtk-7.0/VTKTargets.cmake:28 (if):
  Policy CMP0054 is not set: Only interpret if() arguments as variables or
  keywords when unquoted.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0054" for policy
  details.  Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this
  warning.

  Quoted variables like "" will no longer be dereferenced when the policy is
  set to NEW.  Since the policy is not set the OLD behavior will be used.

C4819

VisualStudioでビルドしているときに以下のエラーを発見

warning C4819: The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (936). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss

無視しても一応動きました

Error C2589

以下のようなエラーを発見
std::numeric_limits::max()が理解されない事案が多数発生
CMakeを使ってプロジェクトを作成しないため発生した

Error  8   error C2059: syntax error : '::'

Error  7   error C2589: '(' : illegal token on right side of '::'

一応関数の上に#undef maxと入力することで消えるが。。。参考
