-- Compilation  --
--------------------

Windows => Use precompiled binary, or compile it with VS2008/2010 (Express or pro, Pro will allow you to enable Opemp in CMVS)
        => Use CMake GUI in order to generate the Visual Studio project file (in ./program you will find the main CMakeLists.txt).

Linux => use makefile in program/main.

 Or use CMake build system :
=> Install the following libraries : jpeg boost boost-graph
 $ mkdir OutputLinux
 $ cd OutputLinux
 $ cmake . ..
 $ make
 => That's all. Openmp is not activated yet. Add openmp in the cmvs link option and define the _OPENMP cxx flags

To test it : ./WinX-VS2010/Readme.txt "Usage of the binaries"

What have been done on native Yasutaka Furukawa source code :

- Create the CMake build system for CMVS/PMVS2 and required library.

- Optimize a little bit JPEG image loading.

- Update CMVS source code in order to compile.

- Add changes from Nghia Ho http://nghiaho.com/
  - memoize pow(2,X)
  - Change GSL simplex to lmfit.

- Replaced GSL simplex/lmfit with nlopt optimizer

- Replaced image loading routines with CImg. Now PPMs are supported properly, with optional support for PNG and TIFF

- Replaced BLAS/LAPACK with Eigen

- Updated internal jpeg library and miniBoost

- CMake-system now supports system boost, jpeg and other libraries if available. 

- Replaced pthread with tinycthread to get rid of pthread.dll on Windows
