“The 0.7 release is available from the Hugin project’s Web site
in the form of a universal binary for Mac OS X and a source tarball
for Linux and Windows. Binaries for Windows are expected to arrive
“soon.” Hugin is also provided through the package management
systems of most major Linux distributions, several of which have
been supplying beta releases of 0.7 during the long run-up to the
final release.

“If you just can’t wait for the final version 0.7 code to make
it into your distribution’s package management repository, the
Panotools.org wiki maintains detailed instructions for compiling
from source, tailored for Fedora, Ubuntu, and Gentoo. Compiling
Hugin is not tricky, but the application depends on a lot of
supporting packages to cope with the wide variety of image formats
and calculations involved in aligning, warping, stitching, and
blending photographs.”
