compile dlib for miniconda

Activate miniconda environment (my environment is called py3):

source activate py3

Produce initial steps from the readme:

cd examples
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

inside function  build_dlib() of file setup.py add the highlighted code:

        if platform_arch == '64bit' and sys.platform == "win32":

            # 64bit build on Windows

         .................. bla bla ...................

            for ext in [py_ver.replace(".", "") + '.lib', py_ver + 'mu.lib', py_ver + 'm.lib', py_ver + 'u.lib']:

                py_lib = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(inc_dir, '../libs/', 'python' + ext))

                if os.path.exists(py_lib):

                    cmake_extra_arch += ['-DPYTHON_LIBRARY={lib}'.format(lib=py_lib)]

                    break

        else:

            cmake_extra_arch += ['-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/home/user/miniconda/envs/py3/lib/libpython3.so']

            cmake_extra_arch += ['-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/user/miniconda/envs/py3/include/python3.5m']

        build_dir = os.path.join(script_dir, "./tools/python/build")

     ......................bla bla.....................................

Replace /home/user/miniconda by your path to miniconda

Run python setup.py install (as usual)
