CloudCompare with LasTools

[arthur]

Hi Daniel,

I read in this post http://www.danielgm.net/cc/forum/viewto ... f07e#p7828, Laslib is deprecated and LasTools will be a better choice, in particular if I want use las 1.3.
So my question is do you know where is the .lib (for LIBLAS_RELEASE_LIBRARY_FILE) and the .dll (for LIBLAS_SHARED_LIBRARY_FILE) of laslib ? I searched in the file but I found nothing (except when I generate in Visual Studio, but no dll).

Thanks,
Arthur

Warning, libLAS is deprecated. And LASlib is not (it's part of LAStools). So you should first compile LASlib (from https://github.com/cloudcompare/LAStools) and you should only get static libraries (in LASlib/VC12/lib/x64 if you are compiling with VS2013 for instance).

And you can't use them to replace libLAS (sadly ;). You can only use them to compile the new qLAS_FWF_IO plugin (which is able to load 1.3+ LAS files). This is temporary, until we manage to replace libLAS completely.
