Notes before you begin

  • Slicer3 is assumed to have been built on your computer in the directory igt-tutorial. This means that you have the directories igt-tutorial/Slicer3, igt-tutorial/Slicer3-build and igt-tutorial/Slicer3-lib
  • 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:

  • Run CMake - CMake is found in igt-tutorial/Slicer3-lib/CMake-build/bin
  • Set the source code directory to igt-tutorial/OpenIGTLink
  • Set the build directory to igt-tutorial/OpenIGTLink-build
  • Press the 'c' key (or the configure button) - this give you a dialog box telling you that you haven't set the Slicer build directory yet
  • Set Slicer3_DIR to your build directory of Slicer3 (i.e. Slicer3-build)
  • Press 'c' (or the configure button) again
  • Then press the 'g' key (or the OK button) to generate the Visual Studio solution (Windows) or makefiles (linux)

Windows

  • Open OpenIGTLink.sln in the OpenIGTLink-build folder
  • Build -> Build Solution

Upon completion, you will find OpenIGTLink.dll in OpenIGTLink-build/Debug

Linux / Mac OS X

  • ccmake is found in igt-tutorial/Slicer3-lib/CMake-build/bin
 $ 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) or libOpenIGTLink.dylib (Mac OS X) at igt-tutorial/OpenIGTLink-build
