Slicer relies on several powerful support libraries. Building slicer has been significantly simplified in slicer 2.4 through the addition of the genlib script.

== Generic Instructions ==

For anonymous checkout and build on most Linux and Solaris configurations, you only need to follow steps below.

''Notes:''

* You will need a recent cvs client; version 1.11.17 is known to work.
* You will need autoconf installed (except on Windows).
* Windows users need to see special download instructions below.

1) '''get an anonymous checkout'''

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.spl.harvard.edu:/projects/cvs/slicer login

and enter 'bwhspl' as the password and then

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.spl.harvard.edu:/projects/cvs/slicer checkout -r release-2-4-patches slicer2

2) '''build the required support libraries (Tcl/Tk, GSL, VTK, ITK)'''

cd slicer2
./Scripts/genlib.tcl

<br />

3) '''build slicer'''

./Scripts/cmaker.tcl

These steps will build the entire system for you, and you can use this as the basis for further development such as writing your own custom modules.

== Windows ==

Not all the support libraries are easy to build on windows, so you can download a set of precompiled binaries to build against. Insert the following substeps between steps 1) and 2).

1.a) download this file: [[Media:Slicer2.4-Lib-win32.zip|Slicer2.4-Lib-win32.zip]]

1.b) unzip the contents into your slicer2 directory. You will end up with the following libraries

Lib/win32/CMake-build
Lib/win32/gsl
Lib/win32/tcl-build

Then continue with the build steps above.

This assumes you are building with the ''Microsoft Visual Studio .NET'' version of the development environment. If you need to use a different compiler, you need to change the GENERATOR variable in the 'slicer_variables.tcl' to 'Visual Studio 7.1'. Note that Slicer has not been fully tested on windows environments other than Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. If CMake complains that "cl" can not compile a simple test program, and you are running Visual Studio 7 .NET '''2003''', you need to change the GENERATOR variable to "Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003".

If you are using MS VisualStudio 6, you can download the building scripts: [[Media:Slicer2-MSVC6-InstallScripts.zip|Slicer2-MSVC6-InstallScripts.zip]]. (Note that some modules may not build due to library incompatibilities).

== Mac OSX ==

Follow the Generic install steps, but note the extra steps described here: [[Slicer:Patches_for_the_Mac|Slicer:Patches_for_the_Mac]]

== Troubleshooting ==

These steps are followed as part of the nightly build process for slicer as shown on the slicer dashboard [http://www.na-mic.org/Testing/Slicer [1]]. Compare the builds shown on the dashboard to the system you are trying to build on.
