Compiling SwisTrack on Windows

To build SwisTrack for Windows, proceed as follows:

• Install Visual Studio 2022. The free version is enough.
• Download and install OpenCV to C:\OpenCV (or any other folder).
• Download and install wxWidgets to C:\wxWidgets-3.1.5 (or any other folder).
• Add the path of OpenCV and wxWidgets to the environment variables:

setx -m OPENCV_DIR C:\OpenCV\Build\x64\vc15
setx -m WXWIN C:\wxWidgets-3.1.5

• Open the wxWidgets Visual Studio project (C:\wxWidgets-3.1.5\build\msw\wx_vc16.sln) and build the debug and release versions for x64 (and Win32 if desired). This takes several minutes.
• Open the SwisTrack Visual Studio project (swistrack\Code\MSVisualStudio\SwisTrack.sln) and compile the x64 debug or release version. This takes several minutes.
• Copy the OpenCV DLLs opencv_world455.dll (release) or opencv_world455d.dll (debug) into the SwisTrackEnvironment folder.
