PCL is a large-scale, cross-platform, open project for point cloud processing that is free for commercial and research use. The PCL framework comprises state-of-the-art algorithms that have endless uses, such as filtering outliers from noisy data, stitching 3D point clouds together, segmenting relevant parts of a scene, extracting keypoints and creating surfaces from point clouds. With the 1.0 release, PCL is now a completely standalone library, using a few “system” dependencies (Boost, Qhull, VTK) with some extra third-party libraries (FLANN, Eigen, CMinpack, OpenNI). The release features a number of changes and updates to help you do more — and help you do it more easily. A few highlights:

• Full Linux, Windows and Mac OSX support. If you can connect an OpenNI camera to it, PCL can run on it
• Complete OpenNI interface for PSDK, Asus WAVI XTion and Kinect. Just hook up your camera and start hacking in 3D
• Complete Octree interface for point cloud compression, nearest neighbor search, change detection and more
• Lots of tutorials and demos – with more on the way

Right? This is your lucky day. After some struggling, I figured out the solution to this weird issue! Simply right click on the file in the “Solution Explorer” then selectd “Properties”. Now choose “Compile as C++ Code (/TP)” in “Configuration Properties->C/C++->Advanced->Compile As” and apply the changes. Compile your project and.. it should work.

This (LINK) article by Thomas Guest explains you exactly how to do all that stuff in a simple and elegant way!

Intriguing, isn’t it?

I seriously recommend you to give his article a read, trust me. You can find it here, at Gamasutra.

This guide aims to help you configure a Subversion server on your Windows machine, running it as a service.

(1) To begin with, download and install latest SVN binaries you can find here. (2) Now right click on My Computer and choose Properties. Then, in the Advanced tab, click on the Environmental Variables button. A new window will pop up. In System Variables add a new variable called SVN_EDITOR with “C:\Windows\notepad.exe” as value. (3) Create a folder somewhere on your hard disk to hold code repository (example: F:\SVNRepository). (4) Open a command shell and type svnadmin create “F:\SVNRepository”. (5) In the F:\SVNRepository\conf folder, edit svnserve.conf and uncomment (delete the starting # character) the lines containing anon-access = read, auth-access = write and password-db = passwd. Save and close this file, then (6) edit passwd file. To add an user with write privileges to our repository, simply add a line to this file under [users] section, using the format username = password, so foo = bar creates user foo with password bar. (7) In the command shell type the following command to create the SVN service:

sc create svn.local binpath= “\”%ProgramFiles%\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe\” –service –root F:\SVNRepository” displayname= “Subversion Repository” depend= Tcpip

Please do not remove spacings since they are mandatory. (8) Open Control Panel, then select Administrative Tools and execute Services application. Look for the “Subversion Repository” service and run it. (9) To create a new project inside the repository, issue the svn create svn://localhost/myproject command. Feel free to write a comment in the newly opened notepad window and then close it. You will be asked for your password… et voilà

You can now use your favorite SVN client to do your first checkout, which will replicate SVN structure on your local project folder. I think that using TortoiseSVN will save you a lot of time
