SuperBuild
Make sure the paths to SVN, GIT and the QT-qmake executable are in your system path. To test open up a command window and type echo %PATH%.
Or switch to your favorite Linux distro with a package manager and install the packages for git, subversion and qt-development tools.
On windows, open up the cmake-gui and in the source navigate to the folder(if you have been following the above instrucations) C:\Lab\farsight\trunk\SuperBuild. Then pick a folder where you want the binaries to be built. Click configure, then generate and then go to the binary folder, open the Farsight.sln file and push F7 on your keyboard.
In linux, let's say you have created a folder /home/user/farsight
In the terminal execute svn co https://farsight-svn.ee.uh.edu/repos/farsight/trunk /home/user/farsight/farsight-src
Then, cmake /home/user/farsight/farsight-src/SuperBuild /home/user/farsight/farsight-bin
Then, navigate to the binary folder by cd /home/user/farsight/farsight-bin
Take a break after you execute this in the binary folder make -j16
