[pdal] PDAL compilation (MSVC9)

[Jerome Chatillon]

Hi everyone,

I have some difficulties to compile PDAL on my computer:
- my compiler: MS Visual Studio 9 2008
- my installed libraries: boost 1.46.1, Qt4.7.2, OSGEO4W(gdal, ogr, 
laswip, liblas, ...)


Here what I do after downloading the zip of PDAL:

*cd c:\devCpp\LIBS\PDAL
cmake-gui*

In the CMake-Gui, I press the *Configure* button and set the 
*BOOST_LIBRARIES_DIR* until the configuration is done:

Searching for GDAL 1.6.0+ library
    NOTE: Required version is not checked - to be implemented
Searching for GeoTIFF 1.2.5+ library
Found GeoTIFF version: 1.3.0
Searching for LASzip 1.0.1+ library
Found LASzip version: 2.0.1
Searching for LibLAS 1.6.0+ library
Found libLAS version: 1.06.000
Configuring done

Then i generate the MS Visual Studio 9 2008 project file(s):
*Generate Done*


Open the PDAL.sln with MS Visual Studio 9 2008
Select release mode, then start to Build the solution (F7) then the drama :

... etc... ...
bla bla ...



I used the same method for the liblas, and it's working great. Here i 
don't understand why it's pointing so many errors.

Does anyone have an advice ?

Thanks
