Right now, the C++ library has several dependencies on external libraries that the user needs to be able to build the library. There are also a few steps to generate the makefile, project file, etc needed to run a compiler for the library.
This issue has two steps:
Modify _getdependencies.py to download the libraries and dependencies for building the C++ library
Add a new python script that will generate the project files for building the C++ library.
Bonus Points: Have the script from item 2 also automatically build the library based on the user's environment (platform, compiler available, etc).
Instead of doing the items in the issue (above), we decided that we will compile binaries of the library for each platform, and check them into the repository for distribution.
