LAPACK is not quite open available due to need of intel compiler

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Would it be possible for you to remove the complete LAPACK functions and replace them for the Eigen functions?
This make the installation and testing of this software much easier. Currently it depends on LAPACK functions, but under windows 8.1 and VS2013 there are no ready binaries available. In order to compile it one would need to purchase the intel compiler which is quite expensive.
As you already use PCL, you can change the LAPACK functions to Eigen functions.

Another proposals would be to change the CUDA functions to ViennaCL functions. This makes the algorithm available to more platforms / GPU's.
