INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS: cmake >= 2.4.7 BOOST >= 1.34.0 ANSI C++ compiler - GNU g++ >= 3.3 INTEL icpc >9.0 (tested) MS Visual C++ 2005 (tested) SUPPORTED Platforms: OPTIONAL: libTIFF libpng OpenEXR MatLab (7.1) IDL ( >= 6.0) COMPILE: on MAC OSX, LINUX, (and UNIX): cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= make TESTING: make test INSTALLATION: make install on MS Windows: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= -G "NMake Makefiles" nmake or CMakeSetup + Compile in Visual Studio Specifics about using MIA with matlab on GCC compiled systems: To use MIA with MatLab, it needs to be compiled with the same C++ ABI version Matlab was compiled with. Specificall, MIA and BOOST should link to the very same version of libstdc++. In case of MatLab 7.1 this is libstdc++.so.5. One also should remove the libraries libstdc++.so.* and libgcc_s.so.* that are provided by MatLab and use the system wide ones - these libraries usually reside in /sys/os//
