Tutorial is a bit confusing

[GuiFermino]

I'm quite new to this, sorry for the incovenience, but, trying to copy the steps from README: Step 8: show I clone the repo to develop/ folder? or projects/ ? or even within cgv-develop-rgbd/? Step 9: I've only found the archive pointcloud_labeling_tool.pj, still once I drag it to generate_makefiles.bat (I think there is a type in the README), I get the following errors: ...

to open solution, press any key (otherwise close window)

and after I click any key 2 times i get this erros pop up:

Sorry for that, because currently our framework uses Kinect SDK, I will remove the dependencies soon.

[lintianfang]

I think now it should work, please check it again, if there are still any issues, please let me know.

[GuiFermino]

Nice! Now I go until the opening of visual studio! However, once I try to build it (for some reason my shortcut is not F7, so I go in section Build and click in Build Solution Ctrl+Shif+B), in step 12, some error messages appear on the Error list:

and when I try to run, as step 13, both these message appear, sequentially:

and if I click Yes:

Is there some archive I'm still missing?

Thank you so much for you help in advance!

[lintianfang]

@GuiFermino I haven't met this issue before, but I suggest you checking if you are under "Release DLL" or "Debug DLL" mode.

Thank you very much!

[GuiFermino]

@lintianfang Did this 2 times, one with "Release DLL" and another with "Debug DLL", both times created this same error. I don't know if I'm missing a file or something similar, but I followed the steps as the README says! If you have any other tips, I'll gladly try all!

Could you share me your email, we could have an online meeting?
