Official installation tutorial website: https://github.com/Vaa3D/Vaa3D_Wiki/wiki...
There is basically nothing wrong with compiling vaa3d following the steps in the tutorial above, but there are a few things to note.
Firstly,he command line in the installation method is done in Visual Studio X64 Win64 Command Prompt (2013), i.e. VS2013 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt. don't use it as a normal cmd, or any other version.
Secondly,at this step of TIFF, don't forget to copy all headers(.h) in tiff-x.x.x\libtiff to v3d_main\common_lib\include.Otherwise there will be a lot of errors with files not being found.
Thirdly,after cmke tiff, ALL_BUILD.vcxproj will be generated,then note that if you click Build Solution in BUILD directly, there may be an error, so right-click ALL_BUILD and select Project Only, then click Build Only ALL_BUILD.
The most important point is that there are currently four files that may be missing. They are....
\terafly\src\terarepo\src\imagemanager\MultiCycleVolume.cpp
\terafly\src\terarepo\src\imagemanager\MultiSliceVolume.cpp
\terafly\src\terarepo\src\imagemanager\ComposedVolume.cpp
\terafly\src\terarepo\src\stitcher\TPAlgoLQP.cpp
I'm sure someone will upload these missing files later, otherwise the compilation of the main program will fail.
