These instructions give details how we build all necessary libraries and setup BioImageXD in Windows. Same instructions work for Windows XP, Vista and 7, and for both 32- and 64-bit systems. We use Visual Studio 2008 to build necessary libraries, but other tools should work as well. If you have any problems, contact info@bioimagexd.net. Whole process takes full day (about 8h), but gladly computer will do most of the job. '''Prerequisites:''' * Python 2.6 (2.7 might also work, but haven't been tested in Windows), http://www.python.org * wxPython 2.8.x (2.9.x might also work, but haven't been tested in Windows), http://www.wxpython.org/ * CMake 2.6 or newer, http://www.cmake.org * SWIG 1.3.38 or newer (2.x.x series haven't been tested), http://www.swig.org/ * Subversion client == Building VTK == # Download VTK 5.6.1 (or newer, might work, but no guarantees), http://www.vtk.org/files/release/5.6/vtk-5.6.1.zip # Extract package # Open CMake GUI # Browse path of VTK sources to "Where is the source code" # Create new directory for binaries and set it to "Where to build the binaries" # Change Simple view to Advanced view # Set following settings: #: <code>BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: ON</code> #: <code>BUILD_TESTING: OFF</code> #: <code>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release</code> #: <code>VTK_USE_PARALLEL: ON</code> #: <code>VTK_WRAP_PYTHON: ON</code> # Click 'Configure' and set #: <code>VTK_USE_TK: OFF</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure and 'Generate' to generate and exit # Go to directory you selected for binaries and open file 'VTK.sln' to Visual Studio. # Select Build->Build Solution, get a cup of coffee and wait about 30-60 minutes for VTK to get build == Building ITK == # Download ITK 3.20.1 (ITK 4.x.x will not work, we'll updated this guide when we move to ITK 4), http://sourceforge.net/projects/itk/files/itk/3.20/InsightToolkit-3.20.1.zip/download # Extract package # Open CMake GUI # Browse path of ITK sources to "Where is the source code" # Create new directory for binaries and set it to "Where to build the binaries" # Change Simple view to Advanced view # Set following settings: #: <code>BUILD_EXAMPLES: OFF</code> #: <code>BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: ON</code> #: <code>BUILD_TESTING: OFF</code> #: <code>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release</code> #: <code>ITK_USE_OPTIMIZED_REGISTRATION: ON</code> #: <code>ITK_USE_REVIEW: ON</code> #: <code>ITK_USE_REVIEW_STATISTICS: ON</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure (don't care about attentions) and 'Generate' to generate and exit # Go to directory you selected for binaries and open file 'ITK.sln' to Visual Studio. # Select Build->Build Solution, get another cup of coffee and wait about 10 minutes for ITK to get build == Building CableSwig (needed for wrapITK) == # Download CableSwig-ITK 3.20.0, http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/itk/CableSwig-ITK-3.20.0.zip # Extract package # Open CMake GUI # Browse path of CableSwig sources to "Where is the source code" # Create new directory for binaries and set it to "Where to build the binaries" # Change Simple view to Advanced view # Set following settings: #: <code>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure and 'Generate' to generate and exit # Go to directory you selected for binaries and open file 'CableSwig.sln' to Visual Studio. # Select Build->Build Solution, and wait about 5 minutes for CableSwig to get build == Building wrapITK (the long-lasting part) == # Create directory for wrapITK source # Go to directory and fetch sources using command 'svn checkout http://wrapitk.googlecode.com/svn/branches/maint .' # Open CMake GUI # Browse path of wrapITK sources to "Where is the source code" # Create new directory for binaries and set it to "Where to build the binaries" # Change Simple view to Advanced view # Set following settings: #: <code>BUILD_TESTING: OFF</code> #: <code>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release</code> #: <code>ITK_DIR: Set to root directory of your ITK sources</code> #: <code>WRAP_double: ON</code> #: <code>WRAP_unsigned_char: ON</code> #: <code>WRAP_unsigned_long: ON</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure (don't care about possible errors) and set #: <code>CableSwig_DIR: Set to root directory of your CableSwig sources</code> #: <code>WRAP_ITK_PYTHON: ON</code> #: <code>INSTALL_WRAP_ITK_COMPATIBILITY: OFF</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure, nothing to set so click 'Configure' to configure again, and 'Generate' to generate and exit # Go to directory you selected for binaries and open file 'wrapITK.sln' to Visual Studio. # Select Build->Build Solution. Since you have drinked too many cups of coffee you might not feel like having a lunch right now. Go for nice 30-60 minutes walk outside. After that you can have lunch or dinner. Then wait a while for building of wrapITK to finish. It will take about 3-5 hours. # Open CMake GUI # Browse path ${wrapITK_source}\ExternalProjects\ItkVtkGlue to "Where is the source code" and "Where to build the binaries" # Change Simple view to Advanced view # Set following settings: #: <code>BUILD_WRAPPERS: ON</code> #: <code>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release</code> #: <code>ITK_DIR: Set to root directory of ITK sources</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure (don't care about possible errors) and set #: <code>VTK_DIR: Set to root directory of VTK sources</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure and set #: <code>WrapITK_DIR: Set to root directory of wrapITK sources</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure, and 'Generate' to generate and exit # Go to directory ${wrapITK_source}\ExternalProjects\ItkVtkGlue and open file 'ItkVtkGlue.sln' to Visual Studio # Select Build->Build Solution, and wait for ItkVtkGlue to get build == Get BioImageXD sources and build vtkBXD and itkBXD == # Create directory for BioImageXD sources and fetch sources using command 'svn co https://bioimagexd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bioimagexd/bioimagexd/trunk .' # Open CMake GUI # Browse path ${BXD_source}\vtkBXD to "Where is the source code" and "Where to build the binaries" # Change Simple view to Advanced view # Set following settings: #: <code>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release</code> #: <code>VTK_DIR: Set to root directory of VTK sources</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure, 'Configure' to configure, and 'Generate' to generate and exit # Go to directory ${BXD_source}\vtkBXD and open file 'VTKBXD.sln' to Visual Studio # Select Build->Build Solution, and wait for VTKBXD to get build # Open CMake GUI # Browse path ${BXD_source}\itkBXD to "Where is the source code" and "Where to build the binaries" # Change Simple view to Advanced view # Set following settings: #: <code>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release</code> #: <code>ITK_DIR: Set to root directory of ITK sources</code> #: <code>WrapITK_DIR: Set to root directory of wrapITK sources</code> # Click 'Configure' to configure, 'Configure' to configure and 'Generate' to generate and exit # Go to directory ${BXD_source}\itkBXD and open file 'ITKBXD.sln' to Visual Studio # Select Build->Build Solution, and wait for ITKBXD to get build == Final setup == Now you can go to root of BioImageXD sources and launch BioImageXD by 'python BioImageXD.py'. Depending where you installed libraries, you might need to set PYTHONPATH and/or PATH environment variables. Add following to your environment variables (Windows 7: Control Panel->System->Advanced system settings->Environment variables): <code> PYTHONPATH=${VTK_BINARY_PATH}\Wrapping\Python:${VTK_BINARY_PATH}\bin\Release:${VTKBXD_BINARY_PATH}\Wrapping\Python:${VTKBXD_BINARY_PATH}\bin\Release:${WRAPITK_BINARY_PATH}\lib:${WRAPITK_BINARY_PATH}\Languages\Python\Release:${ITKVTKGLUE_BINARY_PATH}\lib:${ITKBXD_BINARY_PATH}\lib<br/> PATH=${WRAPITK_BINARY_PATH}\lib\Release:${ITK_BINARY_PATH}\lib\Release:${ITKVTKGLUE_BINARY_PATH}\lib\Release:${ITKBXD_BINARY_PATH}\lib\Release </code> Where <code>${...}</code> should be replaced with path to that location.
