| − | The process of creating an extension is as follows:
| |
| − | * Create a module (command line, scripted or loadable)
| |
| − | * Make sure that it compiles on all supported platforms
| |
| − | * Create an s3ext file pointing to the source code
| |
| − | * Talk to the slicer team to integrate it into the nightly build process.
