Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Several issues are asking relatively the same thing:
- How to start developing on PCL and install PCL from source in a reproducible manner?
- How to use PCL in a VS project?
Current Behavior
Tutorials are either old, or on third party websites (and thus out of touch)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Not supporting VS, but that's not possible 🤣
