Errors, Errors...

This is why it is not a good idea to try and run Linux things on Windows. Upon compiling, the following repeats itself over and over:

With one of the target areas being lines 413-418:

/// return the maximal component
inline Scalar max() const
{
Scalar m(Base::values_[0]);
for(int i=1; im) m=Base::values_[i];
return m;
}

I found one reference to a VectorT_inc.hh issue when I searched for help online. And it was in German. Of course it was.

I encountered these errors when trying to convert Cat's SimpleViewer (the one she sent me to use) into a format the Visual Studio could understand. Granted, I did get a simpler version (called QtViewer) to work (i.e. I have Qt and OpenMesh built, dangit). I suppose I can use the QtViewer for now, but...I'm really limited in terms of sticking buttons and callbacks in where I want them. This is getting incredibly messy, and I haven't even touched hair yet. So sad, so sad. Here's a screen shot of the QtViewer in action:

It provides some great camera manipulation callbacks that would certainly do the trick. Should I just give up on using Cat's SimpleViewer?

Edit (2/17/10): to fix this problem, I inserted the following right before the inline Scalar max() const function (line 413):

#undef min
#undef max
