ITK/10th Anniversary Activities/Dashboard Fest 1.0

The Goal:

To break the Record of Number of Experimental Builds Submitted to the ITK Dashboard

When ?

• November 6th 2009

What to do ?

• Submit as many Experimental builds as you dare to the ITK CDash Dashboard

Why ?

• Just because we can !
• Because it is easy !
• Because it is fun !
• Because anyone can participate of the celebration regardless of geographical location and time zone !

How ?

In Linux

Download ITK

Get any recent release tarballs from

  http://www.itk.org/ITK/resources/software.html

and extract it in a "SOURCE" directory

  mkdir ~/ITK10thAnniversary
  mkdir ~/ITK10thAnniversary/src
  cd ~/ITK10thAnniversary/src
  tar -xzf InsightToolkit-3.16.0.tar.gz 

or

Use CVS

  mkdir ~/ITK10thAnniversary
  mkdir ~/ITK10thAnniversary/src
  cd ~/ITK10thAnniversary/src
  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.itk.org:/cvsroot/Insight login

password: insight

  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.itk.org:/cvsroot/Insight co Insight

Configure ITK

Create a "BINARY" directory

  mkdir ~/ITK10thAnniversary/bin

go inside that directory

  cd ~/ITK10thAnniversary/bin

call ccmake

  ccmake ~/ITK10thAnniversary/src

• Type "c" for Configuring
• Type "t" for Toggling to Advanced variables
• Type "/SITE" to search for the SITE variable
• Hit the Enter key to edit that variable
• Write the name of your machine and institution
  • for example: zion.kitware
  • but if you want to be creative, just go for it!
    • simply try to keep the SITE name to less than 25 characters.
• Type "c" for Configuring
• Type "g" for Generating makefiles

At this point, ccmake will quite, and you are ready for building ITK.

From the same BINARY directory, simply type:

   make Experimental

Depending on the speed of your computer, one to three hours later, your build submission should appear in the ITK Dashboard:

  http://www.cdash.org/CDash/index.php?project=Insight

More specifically, in the "Experimental" Section:
