| + | #REDIRECT [[FARSIGHT_HowToBuild_v4]] |
| − | When building FARSIGHT for the first time you will need to set up a development environment. FARSIGHT utilizes several large source libraries so ensure that you have at least 25 GiB of HDD space. For conformity purposes, save the FARSIGHT source code, QT, VXL, ITK, and VTK to C:\Lab (if possible). The following instructions will assume that the source codes will be saved in C:\Lab.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Choose a Compiler For Your OS ===
| + | |
| − | Popular choices are gcc/g++ on Linux, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/2010 on Windows, and XCode* on Mac OS X.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <span style="font-size:75%">*To install XCode/gcc on Mac OS X you may need to install the XCode development environment. This software should be available on your OS reinstall/recovery disk. At this time only XCode 3.2 is supported as CMake still does not generate appropriate project files for XCode 4</span>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Install CMake ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | CMake is a tool which generates the makefiles under Linux, the Visual Studio Solution files (.sln) under Windows, or the XCode project files (.xcodeproj) under Mac OS X. It aims to allow developers to build their projects across different platforms with a minimum of reconfiguration.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <span style="font-size:125%; color:red">Note: If you want to take advantage of multicore building in Visual Studio, you can append /MP'''n''', where '''n''' is the number of processors you have. (ie. /MP16 for the Dell T5500 Workstations in the lab) to CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS at each CMake configuration screen.</span>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To check the number of processors your computer has, call up the command prompt, type <tt>"echo NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS"</tt>, and the next line will result in a number. Using a number greater than the number of processors you have will seriously slow down the computer.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Build or install Qt ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Build Qt from source. Download it from here: [http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.zip Windows Qt source code]. [http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz Linux/Mac Qt source code]. | + | |
| − | # Extract the zip file to C:\Lab (or the directory of your choosing).
| + | |
| − | # If you want to take advantage of multicore building QT, simply open up <QT root directory>\mkspecs\win32-msvc2008\qmake.conf and add [[#Install_CMake|-MP<number of processors>]] to the end of QMAKE_CFLAGS

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For Visual Studio 2008/2010:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Go to Start->All Programs->Microsoft Visual Studio 2008->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studio 2008 x64 Win64 Command Prompt
| + | |
| − | # cd to the directory where you unzipped the QT source (Auto-complete key: tab) [[Image:changeDrive.jpg|center|frame|alt=alt text|Go to the QT root directory in the Visual Studio 2008 x64 Win64 command prompt.]]
| + | |
| − | # Run <tt>"configure"</tt> (see figure below) <span style="color:blue">(This should take about 5 minutes or more.

| + | |
| − | # Run <tt>"nmake"</tt> <span style="color:blue">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee Take a coffee break.]</span> This step will take at least 30 minutes.

| − | #*If you made a mistake somewhere, you can start from scratch by typing <tt>"nmake confclean"</tt>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Download Boost ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Download the Boost C++ libraries from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.47.0/ the Boost download page].
| + | |
| − | #*Make sure you download the actual source file and not the documentation (The documentation will have pdf in its name.) [[Image: boostDownload.jpg|center|frame|[http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.47.0/ Boost download page]]]
| + | |
| − | # Unzip it to C:\Lab (or a directory of your choosing).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You '''do not''' need to compile it.

| − | === Download Git ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | http://git-scm.com/
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Install Subversion ===
| + | |
| − | SVN is a version control system used to manage the source code.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [http://tortoisesvn.net/ TortoiseSVN x64] is a popular choice for Windows that integrates into the OS.
