Hi Andrew, thank you for your reply.

Unfortunatly, our Windows system configuration prevents me to setup a
msvc build toolchain so I will wait for the next release on this point.

About the LAS missing signature, for now entwine build seems to be the
only tool blocked by it as I have been using many pdal tools an others
(lastools, cloudcompare, fme, potreeconverter) in the last past weeks.
My first reaction was to convert the las files to laz using pdal
stating minor_version=4 in the hope it would automagically solves it.

regards,
jean-roc
