Hi all,

Robin Mills, who has contributed the MSVC build to the Exiv2-0.18pre2 
library that is used by Hugin, as tried to build Hugin and thought it 
looked difficult last month. As an experienced professional in the 
field, including more than a decade with Adobe, he is not a newbie. ANd 
indeed, things are slightly confusing since new dependencies have been 
added last October. The instructions, and the Windows SDK, no longer 
work out of the box.

The documentation on the Wiki can really use a good clean up.

Entry page: <http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools>
- all the section about release schedule is outdated.
- the list of specific revisions is outdated but not critical
- the documents linked from the supported platforms are critically 
outdated since the introduction of the latest dependencies

Specifically:

* <http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Ubuntu> - the new 
dependency is in, but I have not tested it on a fresh system.

* <http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Fedora> - takes the 
approach of adding the binary package rather than building. It seems 
that there is no need for Fedora users to "roll their own", as Bruno is 
feeding them with the builds.

* <http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_OSX> and 
<http://wiki.panotools.org/Build_a_MacOSX_Universal_Hugin_bundle_with_Xcode>

Harry is taking care of these, and judging from his regular posting here 
there is a lot of complexity involved.

* <http://wiki.panotools.org/Build_Hugin_for_Windows_with_SDK>

is outdated. I have a beta version of the SDK almost ready to ship. Once 
it's out, it will be easier as ever.

* <http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Windows>

this is the complex side of Windows that is hidden by the SDK. Pablo had 
documented it pretty well but it outdated. I intend to put in there my 
observations / documentation on building the SDK.

* <http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_OpenSuse> lacks the new 
libglew dependency. OpenSuse users are generally taking care of themselves.

* <http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Gentoo> is up to date.
