Build dependencies

Make sure these are installed first and that their executables are in your path:

• cmake - should already be installed if you built OpenCV by yourself (configure OPENCV_DIR as required for build using OpenCV with cmake).
• Visual Studio - a C++ compiler - I'm using Visual Studio 2015.
• git (optional) - you can also download the sources from GitHub.
• NSIS (optional) - if you want to build a package installer.
  

Building

• This should be done from a Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 (Open it from the Start menu):

REM check dependencies are in path/exist
REM ====================================
cd c:\users\sagiz
where git
where cmake
echo %OPENCV_DIR%
where msbuild
dir "c:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\NSIS.exe"

REM get the sources
REM ===============
cd c:\users\sagiz
git clone https://github.com/sagi-z/CanvasCV.git
cd CanvasCV
git checkout tags/1.0.0
mkdir build
cd build

REM configure the build
REM ===================
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..

REM build the sources
REM =================
msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release

REM build the installer
REM ===================
msbuild PACKAGE.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release

REM run the installer
REM =================
.\canvascv-1.0.0-win64.exe
