| − | Slicer relies on several powerful support libraries. Building slicer has been significantly simplified in Slicer 2.4 and Slicer 2.5 through the addition of the genlib script.

| − | == Generic Instructions ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | For anonymous checkout and build on most Linux and Solaris configurations, you only need to follow steps below.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Notes:''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * You will need a recent cvs client; version 1.12.10 is known to work.
| |
| − | * 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-2-5-patches slicer2
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2) '''build the required support libraries (Tcl/Tk, GSL, VTK, ITK)'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | cd slicer2
| |
| − | ./Scripts/genlib.tcl
| |
| − | | |
| − | <br /> | |
| − | | |
| − | 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 release 2.4, not all the support libraries are easy to build on windows in Slicer 2.5, 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: [[Media:Slicer2.4-Lib-win32.zip|Slicer2.4-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/gsl
| |
| − | Lib/win32/tcl-build
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then continue with the build steps above.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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 building scripts: [[Media: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, but note the extra steps described here: [[Slicer:Slicer2.5_Patches_for_the_Mac|Slicer:Slicer2.5_Patches_for_the_Mac]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 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.
