Source code changes of the file "README.VisualStudio" between
pfstools-2.1.0.tgz and pfstools-2.2.0.tgz

About: pfstools are a set of command line programs (and one GUI program) for reading, writing, manipulating, and viewing high-dynamic range (HDR) images and video frames (similar as the netpbm package does for low-dynamic range images).

		This is partly because the code uses a feautures or includes not available in MS
		VC.
		To compile selected programs, you will probably need to comment out in src/CMake
		Files.txt
		selected directories.
		To compile a native version of pfsview on Windows, check README.MinGW.
		Note that this compilation procedure is an alternative to using cygwin (refer to
		README.Cygwin). One exception is pfsview, which works better when natively comp
		iled with Qt5 for Windows rather than with XWindow cleint in cygwin.
		=== zlib ===
		zlib (http://www.zlib.net/) is required to compile pfstools. You can download pr
		e-compiled libraries from:
		https://www.bruot.org/hp/libraries/
		then update CMakeLists.txt to include the relevant path. Find the commented line
		s:
		%SET(ZLIB_DIR "C:/<path>")
		%SET(CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH ${ZLIB_DIR}/include ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH})
		%SET(CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH ${ZLIB_DIR}/ ${ZLIB_DIR}/lib ${CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH})
		uncomment them and update the path.

/downloads		Update from 6/10/2019: Qt (pfsview) compilation with VisualStudio is not tested.
		This is because Qt does not support Visual Studio C++ 2019, which is the only a
		vailable download at the Microsoft web pages.
		Update from 27/12/2019: QT provides the libraries for VisualStudio 2019 now but
		compilation results in a long list of errors. Giving up. pfsview compiled with M
		inGW GCC works fine.
