Use pointmatcher with CGAL fail #8123

I tried to run the PointMatcher example program from CGAL's Point Set Processing: https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Point_set_processing_3/index.html#Point_set_processing_3Examples_registration_PointMatcher. I have successfully installed libpointmatcher, version 1.3.1. When I tried to compile the example project using CMake, find_package(libpointmatcher QUIET) also successfully found my libpointmatcher library, but it seems that if(TARGET CGAL::pointmatcher_support) did not pass, resulting in the corresponding project not being compiled. This has confused me about where the problem lies. Below is the information output during CMake compilation:

I'm not sure if it's related to the Boost version, as my CGAL was installed directly using vcpkg.

C:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/share/cgal/CGAL_pointmatcher_support.cmake searchs for dependencies of libpointmatcher. And we see in your log that it displays:

NOTICE: the libpointmatcher library requires the following boost components: thread filesystem system program_options date_time chrono.

Part of Boost libraries are not found correctly.

According to the CMake prompt, I installed "boost-preprocessor:x64-windows 1.83.0 Boost preprocessor module" using vcpkg, and then proceeded with the configuration again. However, an error occurred during the generation process. The CMake output is as follows:“Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.19041.0 to target Windows 10.0.19045.

I'm not sure if the issue lies with the libnabo library not being properly installed, but I have compiled it multiple times following the tutorial at 'https://github.com/norlab-ulaval/libpointmatcher/blob/1.3.1/doc/CompilationWindows.md'. I've been struggling for two days to use libpointmatcher with CGAL, and it's been quite painful.
