== Generic Instructions (Linux/Unix/Solaris) ==
 
 
 
For anonymous checkout and build on most Linux and Solaris configurations, you only need to follow the steps below.
 
 
 
''Notes:''
 
 
 
* You will need a recent cvs client; version 1.12.10 is known to work.
 
* You will need a recent Subversion (svn) client
 
* You will need autoconf installed (except on Windows).
 
* Windows users need to see special download instructions below.
 
* If you are using gcc, use something around gcc ver. 3.3 vintage. There have been problems compiling various support libraries using gcc ver. 4.0.
 
 
 
1) '''Get an anonymous checkout'''
 
 
 
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.spl.harvard.edu:/projects/cvs/'''slicer''' login
 
 
 
and enter 'bwhspl' as the password and then
 
 
 
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.spl.harvard.edu:/projects/cvs/'''slicer''' checkout -r release-2-6 slicer2
 
 
 
''Note:'' to build the current cvs head, omit the '-r release-2-6' argument.
 
 
 
2) '''Build the required support libraries (Tcl/Tk, VTK, ITK)'''
 
 
 
cd slicer2
 
./Scripts/genlib.tcl
 
 
 
* Note: you need [http://subversion.tigris.org/ svn] installed.
 
 
 
<br />
 
 
 
3) '''Build '''slicer''''''
 
 
 
./Scripts/cmaker.tcl
 
 
 
These steps will build the entire system for you, and you can use this as the basis for further development such as writing your own custom modules.
 
 
 
== Windows ==
 
 
 
Like in releases 2.4 and 2.5, not all the support libraries are easy to build on windows in '''Slicer''' '''2.6''', so you can download a set of precompiled binaries to build against. Insert the following substeps between steps 1) and 2).
 
 
 
1.a) download this file: [http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/External/Slicer2.6-Lib-win32.zip Slicer2.6-Lib-win32.zip]
 
 
 
1.b) unzip the contents into your slicer2 directory. You will end up with the following libraries
 
 
 
Lib/win32/CMake-build
 
Lib/win32/tcl-build
 
 
 
Then continue with the build steps above, knowing that now you have tclsh executable located in
 
 
 
  Lib/win32/tcl-build/bin
 
 
 
This assumes you are '''building''' with the ''Microsoft Visual Studio .NET'' version of the development environment. If you need to use a different compiler, you need to change the GENERATOR variable in the 'slicer_variables.tcl' to 'Visual Studio 7.1'. Note that '''Slicer''' has not been fully tested on windows environments other than Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. If CMake complains that "cl" can not compile a simple test program, and you are running Visual Studio 7 .NET '''2003''', you need to change the GENERATOR variable to "Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003".
 
 
 
If you are using MS VisualStudio 6, you can download the '''building''' scripts: [http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/External/Slicer2-MSVC6-InstallScripts.zip Slicer2-MSVC6-InstallScripts.zip]. (Note that some modules may not build due to library incompatibilities).
 
 
 
== Mac OSX ==
 
 
 
Follow the generic install steps for building on Tiger and Panther.
 
 
 
For building Leopard, see [[Slicer:Slicer_2.6_Building_Leopard | Building on Leopard]].
 
 
 
== Troubleshooting ==
 
 
 
These steps are followed as part of the nightly build process for '''slicer''' as shown on the '''slicer''' dashboard [http://dart.na-mic.org/Slicer2/Dashboard/ here]. Compare the builds shown on the dashboard to the system you are trying to build on.
 
 
 
== Where to go for Help ==
 
 
 
Compilation questions can be sent to the [http://massmail.spl.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/slicer-devel '''Slicer''' Developer's Mailing List].
