= Recommended Build Procedure =
There are two ways of building TubeTK:


* Requirements:
* (Option 1) Slicer-Dependent Build
** CMake: http://cmake.org
* (Option 2) Stand-Alone Build
** git
** svn


== Configure the build using CMake ==
If you are going to use TubeTK as a library for building your own C++ programs or for processing data using the command-line or scripts, it is sufficient to build TubeTK as a (Option 2) Stand-Alone Build.


===Create the build directory===
If you want a graphical user interface (albeit to a limited subset of TubeTK's methods), you should follow the (Option 1) Slicer-Dependent Build instructions.


cd ~/Projects # assuming that this is where your TubeTK source directory is located
= (Option 1) Slicer-Dependent Build =
mkdir tubetk-Release


===Run CMake to configure===
It uses a compiled version of Slicer to provide its dependencies. 


====Linux====
In this build format,
# TubeTK produces a set of libraries and command-line programs that can be used to process images from the command line and to build other applications.
# TubeTK methods are available from within the Slicer application against which it is built.


cd tubetk-Release
This build format is tested nightly on Windows, OS X, and Linux machines.
ccmake ../tubetk_source_dir
press 'c' to configure


====Windows====
This build format has the following steps:
* Install requirements and options
* Download source
* Configure using CMake
* Build


run CMake (cmake-gui)
== Install Requirements and Options ==
Where is the source code: your TubeTK source directory
Where to build the binaries: your new TubeTK build directory
Press the 'Configure' button
* If CMake complains that it cannot find Git:
** Toggle the 'Advanced' checkbox to ON
** Set the value of GIT_EXECUTABLE value to C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe, or its equivalent on your system
** Press the 'Configure' button twice
** Toggle the 'Advanced' checkbox to OFF


===Confirm the following CMake variables===
=== CMake ===
* BUILD_TESTING: ON
CMake 3.4 or greater is required.
* CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Specify Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo or MinSizeRel
* The Mac/Windows binaries can be downloaded from [http://cmake.org http://cmake.org]
* TubeTK_USE_CTK: ON
* The linux installation from source is easiest. Assuming an older version of cmake is already installed, and you want to install v3.4.1, do the following:
* TubeTK_USE_QT: OFF
sudo apt-get build-dep cmake
** If you have Qt 4.6.3 or greater installed, you can turn it on.
sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-dev glade-gtk2 libglademm-2.4-dev
** If you do not have Qt, CMake will complain until you turn this option off.
git clone http://github.com:/Kitware/CMake.git
* TubeTK_USE_SUPERBUILD: ON
cd CMake
** If "ON", then cmake will fetch and compile ITK and VTK from the Slicer git repository, and will fetch and compile TCLAP, ModuleDescriptionParser, and GenerateCLP from the Slicer3 svn repository
git checkout v3.4.1
* TubeTK_USE_VTK: ON
  cd ..
* USE_SYSTEM_ITK: OFF
mkdir CMake-Release
** If "ON", then you can tell TubeTK to use an ITK build that is already present on your system (using the CMake variable ITK_DIR)See the warning below.
cd CMake-Release
* USE_SYSTEM_VTK: OFF
cmake ../CMake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
** If "ON", then you can tell TubeTK to use a VTK build that is already present on your system (using the CMake variable VTK_DIR)See the warning below.
  make -j8


===Generate the build files===
=== Slicer ===


* Reinforce the selected CMake variables by configuring a second time (press 'c' on Linux, or the 'Configure' button on Windows)
* If you are building the Stand-Alone version of TubeTK, you do not need to build Slicer.
* Generate the build files by pressing 'g' on Linux, or the 'Generate' button on Windows
* '''Windows''': Close CMake when it reports "Generating done"


===Build TubeTK using your compiler===
* If you are building the Slicer-Dependent version of TubeTK, you must build Slicer from source:
** Source: http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Build_Instructions


====Linux====
<b>Notes:</b>
* To address the multiple dependencies required (and optional) for VTK, we recommend installing the build dependencies of ParaView prior to building Slicer:
sudo apt-get build-dep paraview


* Perform the initial build using your compiler at the top-level of tubetk-Release.  This will update and build the libraries that TubeTK depends on (ex. VTK, ITK), and then build TubeTK.
cd tubetk-Release
make -j4
* Subsequent builds should be initiated in the subdir tubetk-Release/TubeTK-Build to save time.  This will build TubeTK only.  You may have to periodically build from the top-level of tubetk-Release to get updates to the libraries that TubeTK depends on.
cd tubetk-Release/TubeTK-Build
make -j4


===== Recommended Compilation Options =====
=== Boost (optional) ===


* For Linux developers (and Linux dashboard machines) we recommend:
Download and build Boost:
** CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=-W -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow -Wno-system-headers -Wwrite-strings -Wno-deprecated -Woverloaded-virtual
* http://www.boost.org/
** CMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=-W -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow -Wno-system-headers -Wwrite-strings
* A summary of warning options for gcc and g++ are given at:
** http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html
** http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.4/gcc/C_002b_002b-Dialect-Options.html


====Windows====
<b>Notes:</b>
* Linux: TubeTK creates dynamic libraries that have static links to Boost libraries.  Since Boost static libraries on Linux are not compiled with fPIC, you must compile Boost from source to use it with TubeTK.
** <code> ./bootstrap.sh <br> </code>
** <code> ./bjam -j14 </code>
** <code> ./bjam cxxflags=-fPIC cflags=-fPIC -a link=static -j14 </code>
* Mac: if compiling for compatibility with older versions of MacOS, you may need to build boost using the following command:
** <code> ./b2 toolset=clang cxxflags="-stdlib=libstdc++" linkflags="-stdlib=libstdc++" link=static install -a </code>
** Slicer and TubeTK matches its build environment with the environment used to build qmake.  This means that all code build using Slicer and TubeTK must also build using that environment.  So, on some systems you will need to specify stdlib=libstdc++ (for 10.8) or stdlib-libc++ (for 10.9 and beyond).  See the comments starting in line 103 of https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/CMake/SlicerBlockSetCMakeOSXVariables.cmake


* Open Microsoft Visual Studio
== Download Source ==
* File -> Open -> Project/Solution -> open tubetk-Release/TubeTK.sln


* Perform the initial build using your compiler at the top-level of tubetk-Release.  This will update and build the libraries that TubeTK depends on (ex. VTK, ITK), and then build TubeTK.
Download the source via git
** Right click on the "ALL_BUILD" project and select "Build".
* <code> git clone https://github.com/KitwareMedical/TubeTK TubeTK </code>
* Subsequent builds should be initiated in the subdir tubetk-Release/TubeTK-Build to save time.  This will build TubeTK only.  You may have to periodically build from the top-level of tubetk-Release to get updates to the libraries that TubeTK depends on.
** Right click on the "TubeTK" project and select "Build".

== Configure ==


* As noted above, TubeTK uses CMake's Superbuild include other libraries, as needed for the options selected.
Create a directory, outside of the source directory, to hold the compilation
* Libraries that may be automatically downloaded and included by TubeTK include:
* <code> mkdir TubeTK-Release </code>
** ITK
* <code> cd TubeTK-Release </code>
** VTK
** CTK
** Select tools from the NA-MIC Kit:
*** TCLAP, GenerateCLP, ModuleDescriptionParser, RegisterImages
* Libraries that must be externally installed if you want to use them with TubeTK
** CMake (2.8.2 or greater - REQUIRED)
** Qt (4.6.2 or greater - OPTIONAL)
* You can manually install the above toolkits and then configure TubeTK to use those installations instead of building its own copies of those toolkits, BUT we don't recommend heading down that road.
** Requires CMake expertise
** Requires making sure each of the toolkits is correctly configured (via their own cmake configuration processes) for use with TubeTK.
** If you still want to try this complex, manual, unsupported approach, then the following steps will help somewhat:
**# Read tubetk/SuperBuild.cmake to find out the current set of cmake options required for each library.
**# For example, at one point in tubetk history, you were required to build ITK v3.20.0, as mirrored and customized on the Slicer github account, using the following cmake vars
**#* BUILD_SHARED_LIBS = OFF (or ON, but libs are VERY small in ITK because of templates)
**#* ITK_USE_LIBXML2 = ON
**#* ITK_USE_REVIEW = ON
**#* ITK_USE_OPTIMIZED_REGISTRATION_METHODS = ON
**#* ITK_USE_TRANSFORM_IO_FACTORIES = ON
**#* CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS = -fPIC
**#* CMAKE_C_FLAGS = -fPIC
**#** adding -fPIC to both c and cxx flags can be ignored if you build with shared libs ON.
**# You must also build non-cmake libraries, such as Qt 4.6.2 or greater
**#* Tips for installing Open Source Qt to run with Visual Studio
**#*# Open a visual studio command shell.
**#*# Go to the Qt source directory and run "configure -platform win32-msvc2005". This will tell Qt to prepare itself for being compiled by the Visual Studio compiler. If you use another version of VS than 2005, replace win32-msvc-2005 with the appropriate one.
**#*# Type "nmake" and take a break when it compiles.
**#*# Add QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2005 as a system environment variable and add QTDIR=your_dir into the system path. It is done.
**#* Tips for installing Qt on Linux
**#*# apt-get qt4
**# After Qt, you must also build the Slicer customized version of VTK v5.6, from the Slicer github account, using the appropriate cmake vars, such as
**#* BUILD_SHARED_LIBS = ON
**#* VTK_USE_GUISupport = ON
**#* VTK_USE_QVTK
**# Again, many details are missing in the above list.  We really recommend using Superbuild instead.

Latest revision as of 12:11, 1 November 2016

There are two ways of building TubeTK:

  • (Option 1) Slicer-Dependent Build
  • (Option 2) Stand-Alone Build

If you are going to use TubeTK as a library for building your own C++ programs or for processing data using the command-line or scripts, it is sufficient to build TubeTK as a (Option 2) Stand-Alone Build.

If you want a graphical user interface (albeit to a limited subset of TubeTK's methods), you should follow the (Option 1) Slicer-Dependent Build instructions.

(Option 1) Slicer-Dependent Build

It uses a compiled version of Slicer to provide its dependencies.

In this build format,

  1. TubeTK produces a set of libraries and command-line programs that can be used to process images from the command line and to build other applications.
  2. TubeTK methods are available from within the Slicer application against which it is built.

This build format is tested nightly on Windows, OS X, and Linux machines.

This build format has the following steps:

  • Install requirements and options
  • Download source
  • Configure using CMake
  • Build

Install Requirements and Options

CMake

CMake 3.4 or greater is required.

  • The Mac/Windows binaries can be downloaded from http://cmake.org
  • The linux installation from source is easiest. Assuming an older version of cmake is already installed, and you want to install v3.4.1, do the following:
sudo apt-get build-dep cmake
sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-dev glade-gtk2 libglademm-2.4-dev
git clone http://github.com:/Kitware/CMake.git
cd CMake
git checkout v3.4.1
cd ..
mkdir CMake-Release
cd CMake-Release
cmake ../CMake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j8

Slicer

  • If you are building the Stand-Alone version of TubeTK, you do not need to build Slicer.

Notes:

  • To address the multiple dependencies required (and optional) for VTK, we recommend installing the build dependencies of ParaView prior to building Slicer:
sudo apt-get build-dep paraview


Boost (optional)

Download and build Boost:

Notes:

  • Linux: TubeTK creates dynamic libraries that have static links to Boost libraries. Since Boost static libraries on Linux are not compiled with fPIC, you must compile Boost from source to use it with TubeTK.
    • ./bootstrap.sh
    • ./bjam -j14
    • ./bjam cxxflags=-fPIC cflags=-fPIC -a link=static -j14
  • Mac: if compiling for compatibility with older versions of MacOS, you may need to build boost using the following command:
    • ./b2 toolset=clang cxxflags="-stdlib=libstdc++" linkflags="-stdlib=libstdc++" link=static install -a
    • Slicer and TubeTK matches its build environment with the environment used to build qmake. This means that all code build using Slicer and TubeTK must also build using that environment. So, on some systems you will need to specify stdlib=libstdc++ (for 10.8) or stdlib-libc++ (for 10.9 and beyond).
