When preparing the build files for FicTrac using Cmake, you will need to specify to use Spinnaker using the switch `-D PGR_USB3=ON` and depending on where you installed the SDK, you may also need to provide the SDK directory path using the switch `-D PGR_DIR=...`.

For example, for a Windows installation with Spinnaker SDK 3.X.X.X, you would replace step 3 above with (replacing <vcpkg_root> with the path to your vcpkg root directory):
