Build PanoTools From Source Code

I am trying to build Panotools which is a GNU series of photo element software that takes a series of pictures, stitches them together and makes a panorama. A quick search of the web for "build Panotools form source code" finds several options- but I can't get any of them to work- all the stuff is there- but I'm having trouble. I have tried Visual Studio as well as Msys and MinGW Here is what I need- the application loads on any computer- code to make this is there. I can read the process but I can't make it happen. build the application with several options to use one of several stitching elements- code is there- or I'll supply it from source forge or the applicable download site. I like all the elements into a easy instal package. It is open source and the code is there- Programmed in C or C+ ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
