| − | Slicer relies on several powerful support libraries. Building slicer has been significantly simplified.

| − | == Generic Instructions (Linux/Unix/Solaris) ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | For anonymous checkout and build on most Linux and Solaris configurations, you only need to follow the steps below.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Notes:''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * You will need a recent cvs client; version 1.12.10 is known to work.
| |
| − | * You will need a recent Subversion (svn) client
| |
| − | * You will need autoconf installed (except on Windows).
| |
| − | * Windows users need to see special download instructions below.
| |
| − | * If you are using gcc, use something around gcc ver. 3.3 vintage. There have been problems compiling various support libraries using gcc ver. 4.0.

| − | 1) '''Get an anonymous checkout'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.spl.harvard.edu:/projects/cvs/slicer login
| |
| − | | |
| − | and enter 'bwhspl' as the password and then
| |
| − | | |
| − | cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.spl.harvard.edu:/projects/cvs/slicer checkout -r release-2-7-patches slicer2
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Note:'' to build the current cvs head, omit the '-r release-2-7-patches' argument. | |
| − | | |
| − | 2) '''Build the required support libraries (Tcl/Tk, blt, teem, VTK, ITK, NA-MIC Sandbox)'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | cd slicer2
| |
| − | ./Scripts/genlib.tcl
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Note: you need [http://subversion.tigris.org/ svn] installed.

| − | 3) '''Build slicer'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ./Scripts/cmaker.tcl
| |
| − | | |
| − | These steps will build the entire system for you, and you can use this as the basis for further development such as writing your own custom modules.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Windows ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Like in releases 2.4 through 2.6, not all the support libraries are easy to build on windows in Slicer 2.7, so you can download a set of precompiled binaries to build against. Insert the following substeps between steps 1) and 2).
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1.a) download this file: [http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/External/Slicer2.7-Lib-win32.zip Slicer2.7-Lib-win32.zip]
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1.b) unzip the contents into your slicer2 directory. You will end up with the following libraries
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lib/win32/CMake-build
| |
| − | Lib/win32/tcl-build
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then continue with the build steps above, knowing that now you have tclsh executable located in
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lib/win32/tcl-build/bin
| |
| − | | |
| − | This assumes you are building with the ''Microsoft Visual Studio .NET'' version of the development environment. If you need to use a different compiler, you need to change the GENERATOR variable in the 'slicer_variables.tcl' to 'Visual Studio 7.1'. Note that Slicer has not been fully tested on windows environments other than Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. If CMake complains that "cl" can not compile a simple test program, and you are running Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003, you need to change the GENERATOR variable to "Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003".
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are using MS VisualStudio 6, you can download the compilation scripts: [http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/External/Slicer2-MSVC6-InstallScripts.zip Slicer2-MSVC6-InstallScripts.zip]. (Note that some modules may not build due to library incompatibilities).
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Mac OSX ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Follow the Generic install steps.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Troubleshooting ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | These steps are followed as part of the nightly build process for slicer as shown on the slicer dashboard [http://dart.na-mic.org/Slicer2/Dashboard/ here]. Compare the builds shown on the dashboard to the system you are trying to build on.

| − | Compilation questions can be sent to the [http://massmail.spl.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/slicer-devel Slicer Developer's Mailing List].
