Create directory "splot-build"

  • Make this directory anywhere you want
  • This is the place all splot stuff and its dependent libs will sit

Build ACE

  • Move the compressed source code (e.g. ACE-5.5.tar.gz) to the directory "splot-build"
  • Unzip the source code and you will have this directory: ACE_wrappers
 gunzip ACE-5.5.tar.gz
 tar xvf ACE-5.5.tar
  • Set environment variable: ACE_ROOT. For instance, in .bash_profile, add
 ACE_ROOT=/your-path/splot-build/ACE_wrappers
 export ACE_ROOT
  • Add ACE lib to environment variable: LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For instance, in .bash_profile, add
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ACE_ROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  • Create a configuration file, config.h, in $ACE_ROOT/ace. Config.h will contain only the following line:
 #include "ace/config-linux.h"

This file includes the appropriate platform/compiler-specific header configurations from the ACE source directory.

  • Create a build configuration file, platform_macros.GNU, in $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude. Platform_macros.GNU will contain only the following line:
 include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_linux.GNU

This file contains the compiler and Makefile directives that are platform/compiler-specific.

  • Run "make" in the ACE_ROOT directory

The compiling failed in building $ACE_ROOT/ACEXML/examples/SAXPrint. But the ACE libraries are already built in $ACE_ROOT/lib.

Build xerces

 gunzip xerces-c-src_2_7_0.tar.gz
 tar xvf xerces-c-src_2_7_0.tar
  • Set environmental variable: XERCESCROOT. For instance, in .bash_profile, add:
 XERCESCROOT=/home/your-path/splot-build/xerces-c-src_2_7_0
 export XERCESCROOT
  • Run autoconf
 cd $XERCESCROOT/src/xercesc
 autoconf
  • In the same directory,
 ./configure
 make
  • You will see libraries built in $XERCESCROOT/lib

Build opentracker

  • In "splot-build,", check out opentracker 1.3 from
 svn co --username otreader https://svn.icg.tu-graz.ac.at/svn/opentracker/tags/OPENTRACKER_1_3_FINAL opentracker

Press "t" to temporarily accept the certificate. Input OPEN4read when prompted for password.

  • To build opentracker, do the following:
 cd opentracker
 ./bootstrap
 ./configure --with-ace=your_ace_dir --with-xerces=your_xerces_dir
 make

Build CMake

Assume Slicer3 has been built, set PATH for CMake bin.

Build SPLOT

  • Check out SPLOT code into "splot-build" from
 svn co http://www.na-mic.org:8000/svn/Sign/SPLOT/trunk SPLOT
  • Configure the build by running this command in SPLOT root directory
 ccmake .

ACE: path/libACE.so; ACE_DIR: path/ACE_wrappers; OPENTRACKER: path/libopentracker.so; OT_INC: directory containing OpenTracker.h; XERCES: path/libxerces-c.so

  • Modify CMakeLists.txt to compile: add splot-build/opentracker/include to INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
  • Compile
 make
