You need to get the following packages prior to compiling NaviTrack.  While still experimental, it should work on a properly configured windows environment. Current requirements are:
 
 
 
* Developer studio 8 Visual C++ Express which is free from Microsoft - be sure to install the Platform SDK and follow the ridiculous manual steps to set up the paths (see below).
 
** Other releases of visual studio also work (7 and 7.1)
 
* [http://www.cygwin.com Cygwin] with the following packages
 
** svn
 
 
 
* [http://www.cmake.org CMake (2.4.1 or later)]

Be sure to follow '''all''' the steps on Microsoft link. Yes it means you need to download the compiler '''and''' sdk.
