Compiling minkowski.dll

1. Replace <boost_1.62_path> with your real BOOST (1.62) path in compile.bat

Example:

cl /Ox ..... -I "C:\boost_1_62_0" /LD minkowski.cc

2. Run compile.bat using Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio
3. Copy minkowski.dll to DeepNestPort.exe folder

Recent changes in this forked repo:

1. Upgrade all projects to .NET 5 to support cross platform compilation (Tested in Windows and Linux). The GUI project can only be used in Windows.
2. Added Cmake to easily compile Minkowski on different platforms
3. Support importing/exporting DXF files directly from the command line (imported dxf geometry is overly simplified at the moment)

1. Install .NET 5 SDK
2. Install Cmake
3. Install Boost, preferably use sudo apt install libboost-all-dev
