Dependencies OpenCV

On ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libcv1 libcvaux libcvhighgui

building cgi binary: In the spritecutter-web/cgi-bin/spritecutter/ folder, run make. It should compile cleanly provided that the dependencies are intact.

testing cgi binary: cd spritecutter-web/cgi-bin/ ./spritecutter -o

-p

If it runs correctly, you should see the specified directory with the cut sprite, 
and xml vector file. 

creating server:

1. Configure the server - usually this involves creating a virtual host

   Lighttpd config example:
   
   $HTTP["host"] == "spritecutterdev.com"  {
       server.document-root = "/var/www/spritecutter-web/htdocs/"
       server.server-root = "/var/www/spritecutter-web/"
   }
   
   Apache example:
   
   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName kjb.homeunix.com
       DocumentRoot "/var/www/spritecutter-web/htdocs"
       RewriteEngine on
       <Directory "/">
           Options MultiViews -Indexes FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
       </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>

2. If testing locally, add line to /etc/hosts file (usually necessary if using vhost): e.g. #### 127.0.0.1 spritecutterdev.com

3. modify permissions to reflect current server config. Apache or lighttpd usually run under user "http". e.g. chmod -R 755 spritecutter-web/

4. the spritecutter-web/htdocs/uploads/ directory needs to be read and written by the php and the server. Usually user "http" e.g. chown http:http spritecutter-web/htdocs/uploads/

After the server is started, the program should now be set up to cut mad sprites
