Requirements :

• Install cmake : https://cmake.org/
• Install MinGW : http://www.mingw.org/

Steps :

• cd examples
• cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefiles" -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ .
• This last command will generate the required files for an eclipse project
• Now Open eclipse and new->import->general->import existing projects into workspace , then choose examples directory. This will import the project generated by cmake to your workspace.
• Enjoy your developements with dlib !!

Note :

These steps can also work if you create a new project that uses dlib. All you have to do is copy the CMakeLists file to your directory and adapt it to your project.
