Description
Your Environment
Issues@Github
Context
Looking at CMake output doesn't provide information about the details of PCL used by a reporter.
Expected Behavior
Some information regarding the version would not be too verbose. Maybe also add the compile options used since those can cause compilation errors (hint: SSE). Boost has a nice output:
-- Boost version: 1.58.0
-- Found the following Boost libraries:
-- system
-- filesystem
-- date_time
-- iostreams
-- serialization
-- regex
Current Behavior
Only the packages searched are visible.

Research direction
Start by locating the CMake configuration that handles find_package(PCL) and inspect how its current package-search output is produced. Done means the configuration output includes PCL_VERSION without becoming unnecessarily verbose; consider the suggested compile-option information separately because the issue presents it as optional.
