You need to use Visual Studio to compile the OpenIGTLink module
 
as long as the Slicer binary is generated by Visual Studio (VS).
 
I don't think the binaries generated by VS and cygwin is compatible.
 
 
To compile the OpenIGTLink module on windows,
 
please use CMake for windows and do the same as Linux.
 
After the CMake generates VC files, open them in the VC and
 
build it.

<< OpenIGTLink | Library

Linux / Mac OS X

First obtain the source code from the repository. Open the terminal and run:

 $ svn co http://svn.na-mic.org/NAMICSandBox/trunk/OpenIGTLink OpenIGTLink

Then configure using CMake. The library requires CMake version higher than 2.4.

 $ mkdir OpenIGTLink-build
 $ cd OpenIGTLink-build
 $ ccmake ../OpenIGTLink

Then CMake configuration screen shows up on your terminal. Normally, you don't need to change any options. Just press the 'c' key (configure) followed by the 'g' key (generate). and quit the configuration screen. Now you are ready to build the software.

 $ 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.

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 out the source code from SVN
  • Run CMake
    • Where is the source code: C:\Devel\OpenIGT\OpenIGTLink
    • Where to build the binaries: C:\Devel\OpenIGT\build
    • Click "Configure" and select your compiler (usually just click "OK")
    • Message: "Build directory does not exit, should I create it?" - click "OK"
    • It might give a "pdflatex" error, just ignore it for now
    • Click "Configure"
    • Click "OK" to close CMake
  • Start Visual C and compile the project (C:\Devel\OpenIGT\build\OpenIGTLink.sln)

If all went OK you will have the executable and the library:

  • C:\Devel\OpenIGT\build\Testing\debug\igtlSocketTest.exe
  • C:\Devel\OpenIGT\build\Source\debug\OpenIGTLink.lib
