It only requires the jpeg and png library. + +To test it on a list of problems, just run the script `doit.sh` with +the problem numbers as arguments. For instance: + +``` +./doit.sh 1 2 3 +``` + +It will compile the source and run the executable on the specified +problems to generate sample images and test a Boosted classifier. If +no argument is given, it will run on all the problems by default.
