Cannot use face tracking: Linux universal package depends on older libopencv #139

Description

@phelpsdb

Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which, despite being old, only provides opencv 2.4 in the default repositories. The libft.so library dependency for linuxtrack requires version 2.3 (using the Linux universal package 0.99.18-64bit).

While it is true that the program will run without this dependency, it silently fails when you attempt to use the tracking window with a face model (although the log file does complain about the missing dependency).

After you hit "start" on the tracking window with a face model selected, nothing appears in the preview window, but the tracking cannot be "stopped" even if you select a different model, so the GUI must be restarted. Temporary freezing occurs after attempting to stop the first time.

In the meantime, what might be the most elegant way to temporarily resolve this dependency? Looking at issue #120, it sounds like even building the project manually does not resolve this dependency, although it might get face tracking working.
