<< OpenIGTLink | Library

Step by step instructions to build the basic platform

Linux/Mac OS X

• mkdir OpenIGT
• cd OpenIGT
• svn co http://www.na-mic.org/svn/NAMICSandBox/trunk/OpenIGTLink/ OpenIGTLink
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ../OpenIGTLink
• make
• Testing/igtlSocketTest

(For the moment this will not do anything, as the igtlSocketTest.cxx contains only "return EXIT_SUCCESS;")

Windows

• Download SVN Windows client if you don't have one already
• You will also need CMake and a C/C++ compiler as Microsoft Visual C++
• Download out the source code from SVN
  • Create a directory, ex. C:\Devel\OpenIGT\OpenIGTLink
  • Right click on this directory (OpenIGTLink)
  • From the menu select "SVN Checkout..."
  • URL of repository: http://www.na-mic.org/svn/NAMICSandBox/trunk/OpenIGTLink/
  • Click OK
• Run CMake
  • Where is the source code: C:\Devel\OpenIGT\OpenIGTLink
  • Where to build the binaries: C:\Devel\OpenIGT\build
  • Click "Configure" and select your compiler (usually just click "OK")
  • Message: "Build directory does not exit, should I create it?" - click "OK"
  • It might give a "pdflatex" error, just ignore it for now
  • Click "Configure"
  • Click "OK" to close CMake
• Start Visual C and compile the project (C:\Devel\OpenIGT\build\OpenIGTLink.sln)

If all went OK you will have the executable and the library:

• C:\Devel\OpenIGT\build\Testing\debug\igtlSocketTest.exe
• C:\Devel\OpenIGT\build\Source\debug\OpenIGTLink.lib
