Using PCL library in Isaac SDK

I would like to use the PCL library in Isaac. But I am running into BUILD issues since I haven’t added the dependencies required in the right format.

INFO: Analyzed target //apps/robot_nav/ros_bridge:app_ros_bridge (0 packages loaded, 0 targets configured).
INFO: Found 1 target...

So, to fix this I tried to utilize the third party PCL library found in isaac/sdk/third_party/packages.bzl. I updated the dependencies of ros_to_tim_components,

  isaac_cc_module(
    name = "ros_to_tim_components",
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
    deps = [      
        "//packages/ros_bridge/components:ros_node",
        "//third_party:ros",
        "@pcl//:segmentation",
        "//packages/ros_bridge/components:ros_to_proto_converter",
     ],
    srcs = [ "RosToTim.cpp",  ],
    hdrs = [ "RosToTim.hpp",  ],
)

I am trying to use the pcl header #include <pcl/segmentation/extract_clusters.h> in the RosToTim.hpp header file. Even after the changes to the build file, bazel is unable to build the component.

How to go about utilizing the third party PCL library successfully? @shrinv @hemals
