== Notes ==
;--launch <executable> [parameters]
:specify the full path of the executable. Use <code>which ''executable''</code> or <code>locate ''executable''</code> to find the full path of an executable.
:''parameters'' is passed to the executable

== Examples ==
.\Slicer.exe --launch "C:\Program Files (x86)\depends22_x86\depends.exe" bin\Debug\MRMLCore.dll
Starts the dependency walker with the MRMLCore.dll library.

= Developers =
The executable Slicer application is: ''Slicer-Superbuild/Slicer-build/Slicer'' (or ''Slicer.exe'')

''Slicer'' is actually a wrapper created using the [http://www.commontk.org/index.php/Tools:_Application_launcher CTK AppLauncher]. The wrapper exists to set library and environment paths before launching the real application binary in ''Slicer-Superbuild/Slicer-build/bin/SlicerQT-real'' (or ''SlicerQT-real.exe'')
*The wrapper is configured in ''[http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewvc.cgi/Slicer4/trunk/Applications/SlicerQT/CMakeLists.txt?view=markup Slicer4/Applications/QTGUI/CMakeLists.txt]'' under the heading "Configure Slicer Launcher"
*The launcher configuration is put here: ''Slicer-build/SlicerLauncherSettings.ini''

The launcher is part of the [http://www.commontk.org CTK] effort.

== Source code ==
The AppLauncher source code is here: https://github.com/commontk/AppLauncher

== Builds ==
AppLauncher is built statically with Qt on Windows, Linux and MacOsX:
