Linux
Ubuntu
- Ubuntu users, just type the following line in a terminal
sudo apt-get install subversion gcc g++ libX11-dev libXt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libglu1-mesa-dev git cmake cmake-curses-gui libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev
- libXt-devel (libXt-dev)
- opengl/mesa (libgl1-mesa-dev and libosmesa6-dev)
- glu (libglu1-mesa-dev)
libX11-devel (libX11-dev on Ubuntu 7.04)
Debian squeeze
sudo apt-get install gcc libX11-dev libXt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libglu1-mesa-dev gitcmakecmake-curses-guilibqt4-devsubversion make g++ libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev
- Debian squeeze has cmake 2.8.2 and Qt 4.6.3. You will need to install newer versions of these packages.
Debian testing (wheezy)
sudo apt-get install gcc libX11-dev libXt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libglu1-mesa-dev git cmake cmake-curses-gui libqt4-dev subversion make g++ libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev
CentOS
- CentOS user type:
yum install gcc-c++ libX11-devel libXt-devel make libXext-devel libGLU-devel mesa-libOSMesa-devel mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel
glx-utils provides glxgears that can be used to test rendering
Generic (need to confirm)
CMake >= 2.8.8
Git >= 1.6.5
- An easy way to get all of the packages needed to build Slicer is to install all of the packages needed to build paraview (another vtk-based program)
- sudo apt-get install aptitude
- sudo aptitude build-dep paraview
- gcc
- gcc-c++
- libX11
Mac
Windows
CMake >= 2.8.8
Git >= 1.6.5.
- Git-1.7.9-preview20120201.exe recommended.
- Use of TortoiseGit is optional.
For convenience, you could update the PATH variable so that git can be automatically discovered when configuring Slicer. If not, you will have to specify the GIT_EXECUTABLE at configure time.
- SVN (e.g. SlikSvn or cygwin's svn client)
- IDE
- Tested/Recommended: Microsoft Visual Studio 9 2008 (Any edition).
- Experimental: The plan is to support Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (Any edition).
- Un-tested: Cygwin suite (building with cygwin gcc not supported, but the cygwin shell environment can be used to run git, svn, etc).
- NSIS (optional): Needed if packaging Slicer - Click here to download.
