How to build pcl-1.7.1 on iMac (OS X ver. 10.9.4)

in Japanese

At first I tried to build libpcl by using the macports. After installing the libraries on which libpcl depends, I failed to build it. It seems difficult for me to install libpcl through the macports. So I decided to build it from the source code.

After downloading the source code from here, I decompressed it. The dependent libraries are already installed by the macports. Unfortunately an error caused the building to stop. The error is due to the definitions of the non-member template functions described in pcl-pcl-1.7.1/io/include/pcl/io/ply/ply_parser.h. It may be clang's bug. I fixed it in accordance with this site. The fixed code is as follows:
1. delete definitions of two functions named at: 2. delete definitions of funcions named at once more: 3. move the deleted four definitions to a different area as: Again make. I got an error as: Seeing this site, I fixed it as Again make. I had a different error: I gave up the compilation of all modules libpcl has. Since the modules that I am unable to compile are just ones relate to linemode, I excluded them from the building targets. To this aim, I commented out lines from 114 to 121 in pcl-pcl-1.7.1/tools/CMakeLists.txt. Again, make. Mission accomplished!
The sample code worked well.
