OpenIGTLink/Library/Build
Linux / Mac OS X
First, obtain the source code from the repository using Git. To simply download the code, run the following command from a terminal:
$ git clone git://github.com/openigtlink/OpenIGTLink.git
If you are contributing to the repository,
$ git clone git@github.com:openigtlink/OpenIGTLink.git
(Your SSH public key must be registered to the repository prior to the access. Please contact Junichi Tokuda to obtain the repository access.)
Then configure using CMake. The library requires CMake version higher than 2.4.
$ mkdir OpenIGTLink-build $ cd OpenIGTLink-build $ cmake -DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON ../OpenIGTLink $ make
You may install the library into your disk (optional). The default target directory is /usr/local, but you can configure it from the CMake configuration screen. To install the files, run
$ make install
You might need super user access.
Sun OS
For Sun OS (Solaris), you may follow the instruction for Linux/Mac OS X described above. If you want to explicitly specify Sun CC instead of GNU CC, options for cmake look like:
cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC -DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON ../OpenIGTLink
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 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://svn.na-mic.org/NAMICSandBox/trunk/OpenIGTLink
- Click OK
- Run CMake
- Where is the source code: C:\Devel\OpenIGT\OpenIGTLink
- Where to build the binaries: C:\Devel\OpenIGT\OpenIGTLink-build
- Click "Configure" and select your compiler (usually just click "OK")
- Message: "Build directory does not exit, should I create it?" - click "OK"
- Click "Configure"
- Click "OK" to close CMake
- Start Visual C and compile the project (C:\Devel\OpenIGT\OpenIGTLink-build\OpenIGTLink.sln)
If all went OK you will have the executable and the library:
- C:\Devel\OpenIGT\OpenIGTLink-build\bin\debug\igtlSocketTest.exe
- C:\Devel\OpenIGT\OpenIGTLink-build\bin\debug\OpenIGTLink.lib
!!Note on Windows!!
If you planning to link the OpenIGTLink Library with IGSTK, or 3D Slicer OpenIGTLinkIF module, please make sure that you use windows version of CMake (not one in the Cygwin environment) and Visual Studio. Since IGSTK and 3D Slicer are compiled with Visual Studio, the OpenIGTLink library built in cygwin environment using GCC cannot be linked with those software.
