PCL Build Action
ActionsAn action for building CMake projects that uses Point Cloud Library (PCL), VTK and/or QT dependencies.
This action uses a pre-compiled pcl-docker-alpine image with aditional developer tools for compilation. This Action provides a Docker container environment with the installation of the Point Cloud Library (PCL), VTK, Boost, Eigen, Flann and OpenGL.
The GITHUB_WORKSPACE repository is mounted into the docker container where a cmake command compiles the project in a build/ directory. After the compiling process is done, the build folder remain in the GITHUB_WORKSPACE repository.
Note:
This action assumes that the main CMakeLists.txt file is located at the top level (root) of the repository.

PCL 1.12.1 has AVX CPU support. Make sure your development environment supports AVX instructions. If not, you must provide the -mno-avx flag in your CMakeLists.txt file or the appropriate flags for your application, see these posts:
e.g.
target_compile_options(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE -Wno-cpp
-mmmx
-msse
-msse2
-msse3
-mssse3
-msse4.2
-msse4.1
-mno-sse4a
-mno-avx
-mno-avx2
-mno-fma
-mno-fma4
-mno-f16c
-mno-xop
-mno-bmi
-mno-bmi2
-mrdrnd
-mno-3dnow
-mlzcnt
-mfsgsbase
