Rework Build Instruction Documentation of MITK
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The instructions for building MITK (http://docs.mitk.org/nightly/BuildInstructionsPage.html) are not up to date any more.

Someone should provide updated build instructions. These should separate between OS and MITK usage level (application, toolkit).

A few hints for building MITK have been posted to the MITK users list group today.

Event Timeline

[SVN revision 19344]
DOC (#2310):
Reworked the MITK build instructions to work with the current svn version

The instructions worked on Windows Vista 64 Bit. Everyone is welcome to test them on other operating systems. Not quite sure about the ITK_USE_FILE flag, as we did not have a program to compile MITK as a toolkit with, so we did not change the note.

Reopening for a few tweaks. Maybe we leave this bug open for a while, until everything is tested.

[SVN revision 19370]
ENH (#2310): Added more details (Qt version, openCherry). Please review the changes.

[SVN revision 19378]
DOC (#2310):
Removed the "new" from name and title, as the old version is not on-line anymore

some minor issues, please fix _before_ next bug squashing:

  • boost is not required in the open source version, please comment that line in the batch file example
  • at the end there is some reference to the solution file (for starting VisualStudio) and opening a command prompt. It's not clear how to get visual studio running.
  • please make clear what is necessary for ia-32 and amd64 platforms

[SVN revision 19409]
DOC (#2310):
Changed default configuration in batch file to the new svn2 trunk and 32 Bit Windows. Added instructions to start Visual Studio. Boost only needed by MBI members

[SVN revision 19460]
DOC (#2310): Osgi path now points to the required dlls. Added that you need to set source and binary directories in cmake.

If there are no further comments, I consider this bug resolved.

I was trying to setup my MITK (http://mbits.inet.dkfz-heidelberg.de/mbiwiki/VisualStudio) and followed the link in the general instructions (http://mbits/doxygen/BuildInstructionsPage.html). I had one problem so far:

I used the batchfile to set my environment variables, but I wasn't aware that the V: drive has to be mounted beforehand. So I tried to fix this problem by altering the paths to my local drive, which of course doesn't work. I found the solution on the first page (http://mbits.inet.dkfz-heidelberg.de/mbiwiki/VisualStudio), unfortunately far away from the link. Maybe the link to the official build instructions should be at the end of this section.
