medipixel / vtk-8.1.0 Goto Github PK

• Based on VisualStudio 2015 sp3
• Based on Qt 5.10.1
• OpenGL2, OpenGL support
• include vtkDICOM submodule

Required

• VisualStudio 2015
• Qt 5.10.1
• CMake 3.11.0-rc4
• Git for Windows 2.14.1
  • https://git-scm.com/download/win
  • requred in downloading vtkDICOM module.

Build

• http://www.vtk.org/
• How to build vtk on windows
  • http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Configure_and_Build
• download VTK source v8.1.0
  • source code path: VTK source code path
• CMake install, (v3.11.0-rc4)
  • https://cmake.org/download/
  • CMake 'Add Entry' before 'Configure' (i.e: Visual Studio 2015 vc 14.0 x86, Qt 5.9)
    • VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND:STRING=OpenGL (if VTK.OpenGL project will use OpenGL, VTK.OpenGL2 project will use OpenGL2)
      • default is 'OpenGL2'
        • VTK.OpenGL project, Because VirtualBox support only OpenGL
        • VTK.OpenGL2, default value is OpenGL2
    • VTK_Group_Qt:BOOL=ON
      • Turn on Qt support
    • QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=C:/Qt/Qt5.10.1/msvc2015/bin/qmake.exe (if x64 project, use this: C:/Qt/Qt5.10.1/msvc2015_64/bin/qmake.exe)
      • Set Qmake.exe file path
    • VTK_QT_VERSION:STRING=5
      • CMake wrong print Qt version 4
    • Qt5_DIR:PATH=C:/Qt/Qt5.10.1/msvc2015/lib/cmake/Qt5 (if x64 project, use this: C:/Qt/Qt5.10.1/msvc2015_64/lib/cmake/Qt5)
      • CMake need file path of Qt5Config.cmake.
    • CMAKE_MODULE_PATH:PATH=C:/Qt/Qt5.10.1/msvc2015/lib/cmake/Qt5 (if x64 project, use this: C:/Qt/Qt5.10.1/msvc2015_64/lib/cmake/Qt5)
      • CMake need file path of Qt5Config.cmake.
    • Module_vtkDICOM:BOOL=ON
      • Will not use the dicom read module in VTK 8.0.
        • Don't support DICOM files in Big endian format.
        • Don't support writing of DICOM files
        • vtkDICOM module support above 2 problems, git install required, because CMake download vtkDICOM module with it.

  • CMake push the button 'Configure'
    • Visual Studio 14 2015 (x64: Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64)
  • CMake push the button 'Generate'
    • generated VTK sln(visual studio solution) file
• build VTK.sln
  • With admin privilege, launch visual studio 2015
  • Open project vtk.sln
    • build INSTALL project
    • build with 'RelWithDebInfo', to generate pdb files.
  • fix compile error
    • /source/Remote/vtkDICOM/Programs/dicomfind.cxx
    • can't find symbol '_P_WAIT'
    • add #define _P_WAIT (0)
    • _P_WAIT defined in process.h, but same file exist in vtk include path.
