[pdal] PDAL 1.2 compilation on Windows

[Jérôme Chatillon]

Hi,

Trying to compile PDAL 1.2 (http://download.osgeo.org/pdal/PDAL-1.2.0-src.tar.gz) on Windows, but I end up with more than 6000 errors (error C2668: 'std::to_string' : ambiguous call to overloaded function C:\Dev\cpp\libs\PDAL-1.2.0-src\include\pdal\util\Utils.hpp, ...).
My configuration:

-          Windows 10

-          Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2010 64bits (as it's the only one compatible with the)

-          I use CMake and link the libraries of OSGEO4W64 (including gdal, PCL, ...)

Looking at the errors messages, it seems to be a C++11 features support issue...
I never had the clear information, but it seems that OSGEO4W64 libraries are compiled with MSVC 10.0 (2010) 64 bits. This compiler has a poor c++11 features implementation, that would explain why the PDAL 1.2 is (still) not available on OSGEO4W64.

Any advice (except "use Docker") before I try to migrate to VS2013 or VS2015 ?
