Notes:
 
 
 
* Linux Ubuntu: if you have odd rendering artifacts, try disabling visual effects (System/Appearance/Visual Effects)
 
* Windows: If build was OK, but it Slicer doesn't start (gives the error: [bin/Release/SlicerQT-real.exe] exit abnormally - Report the problem.) then one possible root cause is that you have a copy of Python26.dll in your windows system directory (e.g., c:\Windows\System32\python26.dll). The solution is to rename or remove the python dll in the system directory. See more details here: http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=1180

== Common errors ==
 
 
 
=== CMake complains during configuration ===
 
CMake may not directly show what's wrong; try to look for log files of the form BUILD/CMakeFiles/*.log (where BUILD is your build directory) to glean further information.
 
 
 
=== A tool returned an error code from "Generating vtksysProcessFwd9xEnc.c" ===
 
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
 
Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
 
Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Generating
 
vtksysProcessFwd9xEnc.c"

</pre>
 
 
 
See Slicer issue [http://na-mic.org/Mantis/view.php?id=2860 #2860]
 
 
 
Workaround:
 
* See http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13765#c31824
 
 
 
Solution:
 
* Use a [http://www.cmake.org/files/dev/?C=M;O=D recent nightly build of CMake]. It includes patch [http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=cc676c3a cc676c3a]. Note also that the coming version of CMake 2.8.11 will work as expected.
 
 
 
=== On MacOSX 10.8, CMake hangs forever ===
 
 
 
Issue: http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2957
 
 
 
Solution: Use CMake build >= 2.8.10.20130220-g53b279. See http://www.cmake.org/files/dev/cmake-2.8.10.20130220-g53b279-Darwin-universal.tar.gz
 
 
 
Details:
 
 
 
CMake folks (Thanks Brad King :)) fixed an issue that was preventing the most recent nightly from being used to successfully compile Slicer. The fix has been tested and is known to work. Tomorrow nightly build of CMake and by extension the coming release of CMake 2.8.11 will work.
 
 
 
If you are curious about the details, check the commit message:
 
 
 
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=1df09e57 [^]
 
 
 
The associated CMake test have also been updated:

=== On MacOSX 10.8/10.9 with XQuartz, 'X11/Xlib.h' file not found ===
 
 
 
Issue: http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=3405
 
 
 
Workaround: Build with -DSlicer_USE_PYTHONQT_WITH_TCL:BOOL=OFF
 
 
 
Tcl is required only for EMSegment module.
 
 
 
Details: See http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=3405

=== svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL XXX ===
 
 
 
Issue: Cisco AnyConnect is installed with the "Web Security" option checked (default), which blocks Subversion checkouts even when inactive!
 
 
 
Solution:  Uninstall and reinstall Cisco AnyConnect, deselecting the "Web Security" feature during install
 
 
 
[[File:CiscoAnyConnectInstallOptions.png]]
 
 
 
=== My antivirus software reports that files in my build directory are infected ===
 
 
 
Although usually antivirus software does not interfere with the build process, it is recommended to disable antivirus and search indexing for build directories to improve performance and minimize the chance of concurrent file access problems.
 
 
 
=== Visual Studio compiler crashes ===
 
 
 
* If you use Visual Studio 2008, make sure Visual Studio 2008 service pack 1 is installed
 
* Build Slicer in a short directory, for example source code in C:\S4, binary directory C:\S4D or C:\S4R
 
 
 
=== 'QSslSocket' : is not a class or namespace name ===
 
 
 
This error message occurs if Slicer is configured to use SSL but Qt is built without SSL support.
 
 
 
Either set Slicer_USE_PYTHONQT_WITH_OPENSSL to OFF when configuring Slicer build in CMake, or build Qt with SSL support.
 
 
 
== Quick Build on Debian ==
 
sudo aptitude update
 
sudo aptitude install subversion git gcc g++ make cmake-curses-gui libqt4-dev
 
svn co http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/trunk Slicer
 
mkdir Slicer-SuperBuild-Debug
 
cd Slicer-SuperBuild-Debug
 
cmake ../Slicer
 
make -j5
 
 
# runtime dependency:
 
sudo aptitude install python-tk
 
 
 
 
 
== Quick Build on Fedora 20 ==
 
 
 
Thanks to Bill Lorensen, you will find below the instruction to quickly build Slicer on Fedora 20:
 
 
 
yum groupinstall "C Development Tools"
 
yum install git-core
 
yum install svn
 
yum install libX11-devel
 
yum install libXt-devel
 
yum install mesa-libGL-devel
 
yum install mesa-libGLU-devel
 
yum install cmake
 
yum install tcl-devel
 
yum install python-devel
 
yum install qt-devel
 
yum install qt-webkit-devel
 
 
 
svn co http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/trunk Slicer
 
mkdir Slicer-SuperBuild-Debug
 
cd Slicer-SuperBuild-Debug
 
cmake ../Slicer
 
make -j5
