Hello,

I am trying to install FLANN on a Windows 10 machine but I encounter some issues.

Thank you for your time!

Sorry, I have no windows dependency build script. The binary dependency code is quite old, and requires updating. Or preferably moving deps to BinaryBuilder. PR is always welcome.

Oh ok, good to know that it wasn't an issue with my installation process. Sadly I'm not that adept with the language right now to be able to contribute. I will have it in mind though.

Thank you for your fast response
