point-generator

Generate points to send over ZeroMQ to the Unreal Engine point cloud demo.

Windows installation

The best solution is to depend on the provided vendored libs:

zmq = { version = "0.9", features = ['vendored'] }

Trying to build our own zeromq is COMPLICATED. I don't understand the Windows ecosystem at all, and I spent hours trying to get things working:

Install Microsoft's vcpkg package manager.
PS C:\dev\vcpkg> .\vcpkg.exe install czmq
Install CMake and add the bin directory (C:\Program Files\CMake\bin) to the path (System properties > Advanced > Environment variables).
Build:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
