IGT:ToolKit/Build-OpenIGTLink

Back to IGT:ToolKit

Notes before you begin

• Slicer3 is assumed to have been built on your computer in the directory igt-tutorial
• CMake 2.6 is absolutely required. If you don't have it installed, you can use the version of ccmake found in igt-tutorial/Slicer3-lib/CMake-build/bin (it will be CMake 2.6)

Instructions

First, get the OpenIGTLink module source code from the repository:

 $ cd igt-tutorial
 $ svn co http://svn.na-mic.org/NAMICSandBox/trunk/IGTLoadableModules/OpenIGTLink OpenIGTLink

Create a new build directory:

 $ mkdir OpenIGTLink-build

Configure using CMake 2.6: Press the 'c' key, then set Slicer3_DIR to your build directory of Slicer3 (i.e. Slicer3-build), press 'c' again and then press the 'g' key to generate the makefiles.

 $ cd OpenIGTLink-build
 $ ccmake ../OpenIGTLink

If the previous command has completed without error, you can start building:

 $ make

Upon completion, you should find libOpenIGTLink.so (Linux), libOpenIGTLink.dll (Windows) or libOpenIGTLink.dylib (Mac OS X) at igt-tutorial/OpenIGTLink-build
