VC视频对象的跟踪提取原代码（vc视频监控源码）

Notes on the compilation of the Reading People Tracker under Windows (Win32)
============================================================================

These are notes which were written in 2002 when I compiled the Tracker under
Windows NT using Visual C++.  Updates were added later but the code is not
maintained under Windows.  One reason is that I simply do not have that OS,
another reason is that the Visual C++ compiler does not adhere to the ISO C
standard.

Please note that the user interface has not been ported to Windows because
in our system this was not necessary.  Therefore the display has to be
disabled when compiling under Windows (see below).  Other, new features like
the IEEE1394 (FireWire) interface have not been tested under Windows.

All in all, the use of Windows should be avoided if at all possible.


* Important defines to be used during compilation (-DName or -DName=Value):

-DNO_DISPLAY

-DUSE_GL

-DDISPLAY_POLY

-DUSE_LAPACK


* Define NDEBUG (-DNDEBUG) for releases to disable ISO C assertions.


* Notes on System/Hardware Dependent Defines and Implementations:

Please define

-DLSB_FIRST

and

-DWIN32

if they are not already defined (WIN32 should already be defined).


* Further Notes on Compilation

 - The Code is re-entrant and has to be compiled with the appropriate option(s)
   enabled.

 - The Code needs RTTI to be enabled.

 - Compiling The Code with the Microsoft C++ compiler under Windows myself, I
   have defined __STDC__ which is used by some Microsoft system #include files.

 - Microsoft Windows cannot distinguish the include file "List.h" and the
   system include <list.h> by their file name.  Therefore please make sure that
   the data/ directory is searched for include files before the directory
   containing <list.h>.

 - The code uses threads which are compliant to the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c --- 1995
   standard.  Under WIN32, please use the free ``pthreads for win32'' library,
   see http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
