Build

Make sure that you can compile Slicer OR have the Prerequisites for Slicer: Slicer Build Instructions.

Windows

Tested Development environment: Slicer Windows Dev Environment.

1. Run CMake (cmake-gui) from the Windows Start Menu
   • Set the build directory C:\slicerSALT-Debug or C:\slicerSALT-Release
   • Select your compiler: Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64
   • Configure using default options. You may get a configuration error that QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE is not set, which is normal.
   • Verify that QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE is set to the QT version that was used to compile Slicer
   • Click generate the close cmake-gui
2. Build (be prepared to wait for some hours!)
   • Open the top-level slicerSALT.sln in the build directory
   • If you're trying to build Release mode, make sure to set the active configuration to Release
   • Build Solution!
3. slicerSALT executable lives in path/to/slicerSALT-build/S-bld/Slicer-build/

Unix-like

MacOSX Note: Beginning XCode 7 support for OpenMP has been removed. So if you're using XCode 7 or above OpenMP will be bypassed during build process.

    $ mkdir slicerSALT-build
    $ cd slicerSALT-build

1. Configure CMake

   •   $ ccmake ../slicerSALT
     

   • Point CMake to the QT version that was used to compile Slicer
   • MacOSX: Set variable CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.9 (Mavericks) / 10.10 (Yosemite) / 10.11 (El Capitan)

2. Build (be prepared to wait for some hours!)

    $ make -j4
