So nice to hear about a new release!. I am trying to use Panotools Script to convert a set of spherical pano images to cube faces. (any alternatives also highly appreciated)
However, I am having issues with installing it in windows. The perl Makefile.PL complains about not having "miniperl.exe" in my machine. Is that really required? the nmake test also gives me 'C:\work\Panotools-Script-0.25\0' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\work\Panotools-Script-0.25\0' : return code '0x1' Stop. regards, -- Ruwan Janapriya http://www.janapriya.net http://www.sirilaka.org On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 4:32 AM, Bruno Postle <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Panotools::Script is a perl module for reading/writing and > manipulating hugin .pto project files, this 0.25 release fixes some > bugs, adds some features, and introduces some experimental tools: > > - - lens-submit is a simple tool that reads a Hugin .pto project, > finds the first 'lens', gathers some lens and EXIF data, and > submits it via HTTP to a collecting server.
