Compiling TouchPlusLib under Win10 VS2015 Community #3

Hi Umar !

How are you ? I see you're back on https://medium.com/@Rapchik/ !

In the past few days I was trying to compile your TouchPlusLib under Win10 VS2015 Community.

After resolving include path for opencv2, I'm facing that :

"Warning C4101 'temp': unreferenced local variable TouchPlusLib c: \ touchpluslib-master \ src \ touchplus.h 126 Warning C4715 'UnlockSoftware': the control paths do not return any value TouchPlusLib c: \ touchpluslib-master \ src \ touchplus.h 172 Error LNK1104 can not open file 'libusb.lib' TouchPlusLib C: \ TouchPlusLib-master \ LINK 1"

I've tried to tell to VS2015 Community to point to libusb.lib file found in https://sourceforge.net/p/libusb-win32/wiki/Home/ but the compiler says it can't read the file !

Any idea to help me referencing the good libusb.lib file ?

Maybe you could made a special github commit configured for VS2015 community (if you bought a new win home pc) ?

By the way I'm thinking about the Python language on opencv as seen on https://github.com/jayrambhia/Vision/tree/master/OpenCV : can Python offer the same running speed than c++ for opencv processes ?

To end with a change for me, after years of Microsoft Windows computing, I've recently bought a Macmini to discover OSX El Capitan and Apple's world finally and its better memory management !

Thanks in advance !

Post Scriptum : At http://gharbi.me/ractiv/ a lot of members are thinking the TouchPlus is a lost cause now, and I must admit they are probably right. Indeed this device was obviously badly electronically designed in such a bad way that the Etron chipset can't be controlled to deliver its calculation power to ease and speed the tracking process. What makes me mad is that there was a 0.55b version with functional cursor as seen on Youtube on Alexandru Bauer's win10 pc ! I think this commit https://github.com/Ractiv/touch_plus_source_code/commit/d6798349bd6b4d385c4bef170a068a914b99287f is the closer from what could control a cursor with TUIO (No news from Dr. Martin Kaltenbrunner at https://github.com/mkalten/TUIO11_NET/issues/3). Otherwise, no news from australian backer Lachlan Pollock and his californian friend Maz with his team on opencv ! So that will be the end of the dream of the ultimate mouse killer !
