(Vauge) Build instructions

• Create a project in your favorite DevEnv (MSVS2008/2010, XCode, CodeBlocks, Eclipse, a Makefile ?!)
• Add all these .c,.cpp,.h files into the project
• Add OpenCV and libfreenect include directories and library directories
• Build & Run

Concrete Build instructions

• run cmake ., make sure CMake knows which build system you want (Unix Makefile, XCode, MSVS, etc), and OpenCV libraries are well defined
• run make / build in your IDE

This is not for complete beginners, but a beginners will benefit a lot from trying to build and tinker around. Please do so.
