Compiling medInria

Pre-requisites

Windows

• Visual Studio Professional 2010 (2008 should work, 2012 is unsupported at the moment)
• DirectX SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812)
• CMake 2.8.10+ (during installation, click Yes to add to path)
• gitbash (same, add to path manually if necessary)
• Subversion (same, add to path manually if necessary)
• Qt 4 (Qt 5 is currently unsupported)
• Boost (http://www.boost.org/users/download/). Unpack, and run bootstrap.bat, then run b2.exe

If you want a 64bit compilation, you will need to compile Qt since there is no installer for Qt4-64bit. You will need 64bit version of OpenSSL as well. Just follow this instructons :

• Set up the 64 bit environment for Visual Studio by executing: Path_to_visual_studio_2010\VC\bin\amd64\vcvars64.bat
• Get and install Win64 openSSL from here : http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
• Get qt-everywhere-opensource-src from here http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8
• Go to the source directory of Qt using the Visual studio Win64 command prompt and configure it with the win64 version of openSSL : configure -plugin-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -nomake examples -nomake demos
-openssl -I path_to_OpenSSL-Win64\include -L path_to_OpenSSL-Win64
• Compile and install Qt (very long, it will take a couple of hours) : nmake INSTALL

macOS

Download Xcode on the AppStore. In the meantime download CMake 3+.

Create a ssh key: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/

And add it to your Github account.

Install Homebrew using this website: https://brew.sh

Then in the Terminal: brew install boost

To install Qt 4.8.7

Download the tar.gz package from here: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.7/

Then follow this: http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/install-mac.html

Notes:

• if you use macOS Sierra, run ./configure -no-phonon: https://github.com/jcfr/qt-easy-build/issues/27
• Apply this patch for El Capitan and more recent macOS versions: https://github.com/Homebrew/formula-patches/blob/master/qt/el-capitan.patch
• if after ./configure, you encounter

-bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

open configure with vi, then press Esc and type :set fileformat=unix, save with :x!.

• After creating .profile in your home directory, restart your computer
• Check that qt is well installed: qmake --version

Linux

You'll need to install the appropriate packages that provide the following software :

• GCC and G++
• Git
• Subversion
• CMake 2.8.10+
• Qt4 developpement tools and headers

On Deb based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint...) :

aptitude install gcc g++ git subversion cmake qt4-dev-tools libxt-dev libzip-dev boost-dev

On RPM based distributions (Fedora, Red-Hat, OpenSUSE...) :

yum install gcc gcc-g++ gcc-c++ git subversion cmake qt-devel libXt-devel boost-devel qtwebkit-devel

These need to be run as the root user, or using sudo.

Make sure your version of cmake is 3.0 or higher :

cmake --version

If not, you will need to install the latest version from http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Compiling medInria in 5 steps

1. Get the superproject's sources

   git clone https://github.com/medInria/medinria-superproject.git

2. Go into medinria-superproject, and create a build directory

   cd medinria-superproject && mkdir build

3. Enter the build directory :

   cd build

4. Configure

   cmake ..

   You may want to run cmake-gui or ccmake instead if you need to fill in variables, such as the path to qmake on Windows.

5. Compile

   cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo

It will take a while. When it's done, you can run it using :

Linux & Mac : ./medInria.sh
Windows : medInria.bat RelWithDebInfo or to open in Visual Studio : medInria-dev.bat

NB: if you already have your own VTK5.10, be sure it's compiled:

• with VTK_USE_QT set to ON
• (on Linux, with CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS and CMAKE_C_FLAGS set to -fPIC)
