README.win64_msvc2013

Requirements
------------

- Visual Studio Community 2013
  http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2013-community-vs.aspx
- CMake
  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
- OpenCV
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/
- Git
  http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

1. Clone the PS Move API repository
    `git clone --recursive https://github.com/cboulay/psmoveapi.git`
    `cd psmoveapi`
    
2. Get libusb-1.0
    Go to http://libusb.info/ and download the latest source (tarball).
    Unpack the folder into psmoveapi\external\ and rename the folder to libusb-1.0
    i.e. psmoveapi\external\libusb-1.0
    
    In that folder, open msvc\libusb_2013.sln
    Change the target to Release x64 (at the top of the Visual Studio window).
    Build the solution.
    
3. OpenCV
    Download opencv-2.4.11.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-unix/
    (Yes, I know it says unix, but all we need are the sources.)
    Unpack it into psmoveapi\ and trim the version off the directory name (i.e. psmoveapi\opencv)

    Open a VS2013 command prompt to the psmoveapi\opencv directory:

    `mkdir build`
    `cd build`
    `cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=0 -DBUILD_WITH_STATIC_CRT=OFF -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_DOCS=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_apps=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_flann=ON -DBUILD_opencv_features2d=ON -DBUILD_opencv_objdetect=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_photo=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_ts=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_ml=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_video=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_java=OFF -DWITH_OPENEXR=OFF -DWITH_FFMPEG=OFF -DWITH_JASPER=OFF -DWITH_TIFF=OFF`

    Open the solution in psmoveapi\opencv\build\OpenCV.sln
    Change the target to Release (at the top of the Visual Studio window).
    Build the solution.

4. Build psmoveapi

    Still in the VS2013 command prompt:

    `cd ..\..`
    `mkdir build `
    `cd build`
    `cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" -DPSMOVE_BUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=0 -DPSMOVE_USE_LOCAL_OPENCV=1 -DPSMOVE_USE_MADGWICK_AHRS=1 -DPSMOVE_USE_PS3EYE_DRIVER=1 -DPSMOVE_USE_LOCAL_LIBUSB=1`

    Open the solution file.
    Change the target to Release.
    Build the projects psmoveapi, psmoveapi_tracker, and test_tracker (others untested).
    
5. Read [this Wiki](https://github.com/cboulay/psmove-ue4/wiki) for windows-specific information on pairing and connecting the psmove controller and on using the PS3Eye camera.

6. Start one of the desired test applications

    If you previously chose to build the example applications (which is the
    default), you can then run

    example.exe

    for a basic example.
