Hi,I am now trying to run the template_alignment file in the tutorials folder of pcl. However that is not an executable file.(No build option). As given in http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/template_alignment.php#template-alignment , I added the lines to CMakeLists.txt. After that when I try to run it in windwos command prompt, this is the message I get : template_alignmentis not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.Can someone help me figure out what the issue is and also it would very helpful if you could provide the exact command prompt commands for this as I am not completely sure if I am doing it write.Thank you.Aparna--On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 10:07 AM, Aparna J.

However in the meanwhile is it ok to comment out the two files (pyramid_feature_matching.cpp adn pyramid_surface_matching.obj) just like that? Will it affect my future programs that will working with Openni and Kinect?Aparna--On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 9:45 AM, Radu B. Rusu <rusu@willowgarage.com> wrote:
Aparna,
Each tutorial should already be provided in the binaries that we provide (at least the source). You can of course, download the source separately and compile it using the instructions given there. All the tutorials need is you having had installed PCL on your machine.On 07/27/2011 06:42 PM, Aparna J. Nambiar wrote:

Hi Radu,
I am using the existing binaries from the downloads page. I installed all the dependencies and then installed
pcl 1.1.0
(win32) also. But is that already enough? I thought after installing them we'll have to follow the instructions in
http://www.pointclouds.org/__documentation/tutorials/__compiling_pcl_windows___3rdparty_installers.php
<http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/compiling_pcl_windows_3rdparty_installers.php> all over again .
Isn't it like that then? Or just installing everything from the downloads page is enough? If so then how do you
start a
new project using pcl? In the getting started page, there are only instructions for those who compiled using
sources and
binaries.
I am sorry if I am being totally stupid. I am seriously very new to this.
Hehehe, Aparna, no problem! We're all in the same situation everytime we look at something new! ;)
So yes, if you install from binaries, you don't need to recompile anything! That's the main reason why we provide
binaries for our users, to save them the headaches of compiling the main library and its dependencies. If you
already installed everything, you should be ready to go.
Cheers,
Radu.
