+
#REDIRECT [[HowToBuild]]
 
+
  1. Make sure that you downloaded the full FARSIGHT source code
+
    You can check out a copy from the following location:
+
   
+
    svn://www.openworld.rpi.edu/repos/farsight
+
 
+
  2. Install CMake 2.6.4 or a later version from:
+
    [http://www.cmake.org Cross Platform Make]   
+
 
+
  3. Make sure you have a compiler like g++ or Microsoft Visual C++ (2005, 2008, ...) installed.
+
    You may need to make changes to your environment variables based on your selection.
+
    If using MAC OS 10.5.x, make sure that you have the Xcode environment installed.
+
 
+
  4. Install required packages:
+
    Overview:
+
    To install VXL,ITK,and VTK, and FARSIGHT first unzip source into folder like C:/VXL/src
+
    Run CMAKE making sure indicated parameters are correct
+
    If you are using VC++, Open the .sln file in Visual Studio
+
    Change to Release mode, and Build ALL, or Debug Mode if you want to use Debugging
+
 
+
    To install QT use command line scripts described below
+
 
+
  5. VXL (latest)
+
    Download it from: [http://vxl.sourceforge.net/ Vision-something-Libraries]
+
    Set these OFF or UNCHECK all of the following in CMAKE:
+
    BUILD_BRL, BUILD_CONTRIB_VIDL2, BUILD_CONVERSIONS, BUILD_EXAMPLES,
+
    EXPAT, BUILD_FOR_VXL_DASHBOARD, BUILD_GEL, BUILD_OUL, BUILD_OXL, BUILD_PRIP,       
+
    BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, BUILD_TARGETJR, BUILD_TBL, BUILD_TESTING,
+
    BUILD_UNMAINTAINED_LIBRARIES, BUILD_VGUI set to OFF
+
+
  6. ITK (latest)
+
    Download it from: [http://www.itk.org Segmentation & Registration Toolkit]
+
    Set these OFF or UNCHECK all of the following in CMAKE:
+
    BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, BUILD_TESTING, BUILD_EXAMPLES, BUILD_DOXYGEN
+
    Set ITK_USE_SYSTEM_VXL to ON
+
    See PYTHON.txt if you'd like to enable Python wrapping for ITK
+
    If using Mac OS 10.5.x use 3.12.0 or later
+
+
 
+
  7. QT (latest)
+
    Download it from: [http://www.qtsoftware.com/products A cross-platform application
+
    and UI framework] QT comes with mingw by default which includes g++ as a compiler
+
    (depending on your selections).
+
    If you are using VC++ on Windows, make sure that you download the source from:
+
    [http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads/windows-cpp QT-Source]
+
    You need to build this source by using VC++ if it is your default compiler.
+
    In order to compile it with VC++,
+
    - Open a VC++ command prompt which will set the environment variables properly and
+
      nmake will be available to use if you cannot find it.
+
    - Check your system if it is 32 bits or 64 bits.
+
    - Check if you are using VC++ 2005 or 2008 (or any other version)
+
+
    Enter the following commands which assume that you have VC++ 2005 on a 32 bit OS.
+
      configure -platform win32-msvc2005
+
      nmake
+
   
+
    If you are using Mac OS 10.5.x enter the commands found at:
+
    [http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/install-mac.html]
+
 
+
    Note: You may need to install and build QT first before building VTK which will require
+
    you to set some parameters like VTK_GUI_SUPPORT (Set it to ON or just check it). This will
+
    bring another parameter VTK_USE_QVTK which needs to be set to ON again.
+
    Then it will ask the desired QT version (Enter only 4 if you are downloading QT4.x.x).
+
    If you are getting "Qt was not found" message, set QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE to the location of
+
    qmake.exe. For example, I have it under c:\qt-win-opensource-src-4.5.1\bin\qmake.exe
+
    Configure it from CMAKE again. It should be able to find QT.
+
 
+
8. VTK (latest) (nightly for some QT views)
+
    Download it from: [http://www.vtk.org The Visualization Toolkit]
+
    Set these OFF or UNCHECK all of the following in CMAKE:
+
    BUILD_DOCUMENTATION, BUILD_EXAMPLES, BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, BUILD_TESTING
+
 
+
    The embedded python shell needs VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT + VTK_USE_QVTK set to ON
+
    Tissue Nets needs VTK_USE_BOOST set to ON
+
    See PYTHON.txt if you'd like to enable Python wrapping for VTK
+
+
 
+
9. OpenGL
+
    To compile vessel segmentation you will need openGL, glext.h, and GLUT.
+
    Your platform probably comes with OpenGL.
+
    (on Windows with MSVC look in similar path:
+
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8 VC\PlatformSDK\Include\gl
+
    You can download glext.h from here: http://www.opengl.org/registry/.
+
    Put glext.h in .../GL/ (where gl.h is).
+
    You will need to get GLUT from here: http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/
+
+
  10. FARSIGHT
+
      SET DESIRED MODULES TO ON, WILL TELL YOU IF MISSING LIBRARIES
+
      Some modules need glut. Therefore, set the desired locations properly for:
+
      GLUT_INCLUDE_DIR, (ex: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/PlatformSDK/Include/gl)
+
      and GLUT_glut_LIBRARY (ex: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/PlatformSDK/Include/gl/glut32.lib)
+
 
+
      THE PACKAGE project does not build automatically, but can be selected and build.
+
      It requires some type of platform specific program for creating install packages.
+
      Build PACKAGE to create an install file of Farsight.
+
      Note: If running the executable results in the following error, you may need to add
+
      the QT bin directory to the system path on your OS.
+
      "QtGui4.dll was not found"
+
