Enter the following commands to build Flann

    cd dependencies/flann-1.8.4
    cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64"

Load dependencies/flann-1.8.4/flann.sln in Visual Studio 2013 and build debug and release.

Now that we build the dependency we can build PCL

    cd ../..
    cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=<path to boost> -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64"

Load PCL.sln in Visual Studio 2013 and build debug and release.

Then we need to get all the headers ready for use. Run the following bash script

    ./CopyHeaders.sh

Now you can copy the pcl/ directory to where you need to include it.

The Point Cloud Library (PCL) is a standalone, large scale, open project for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing.

PCL is released under the terms of the BSD license, and thus free for commercial and research use. We are financially supported by a consortium of commercial companies, with our own non-profit organization, Open Perception. We would also like to thank individual donors and contributors that have been helping the project.
