What do you need: ---------------- machine OS: Unix/Linux (MingW/Cygwin on MS Windows) compiler : gcc (GNU C Compiler !!) utilities : make (GNU make !!) - Gtk+ v1.2.8 or higher package from Available? Type this to find out: 'gtk-config --version' - GdkPixbuf v0.8.0 or higher package from Available? Type this to find out: 'gdk-pixbuf-config --version' What to do first: ---------------- When you need GUI support: - install Glib/Gtk+ package: (make sure the shared libs are found) - install GdkPixbuf package: (make sure the shared libs are found) (GdkPixbuf doesn't install easily on every platform) (Perhaps we can help to get it working: 'make -i' ) Configuring the (X)MedCon project: --------------------------------- type: './configure' or 'sh ./configure' The default installation directory is "/usr/local/xmedcon". You can use the option "--prefix" to override this default directory. All supported formats are enabled. If you need to, you can disable one by adding an option like "--disable-format". For more information about the autoconf configure script, just type 'configure --help'. Make the (X)MedCon project: -------------------------- type: 'make' Install the (X)MedCon project: ----------------------------- type: 'make install' You must install the project, since the files in the source directory are merely wrapper scripts. If you use the default prefix installation dir, make sure to become "root" before the actual installation. For the executables to be found you could make links to them from a bin-directory included in your "PATH" or add the distribution bin-directory to this environment variable. Try to run the newly installed executables. When they can not find a library, make links or add the distribution lib-directory to your "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable or something appropriate for your O.S. Uninstall the (X)MedCon project: ------------------------------- type: 'make uninstall' Libraries & package structure: ----------------------------- The relation between it all, is as follows: Extra (X)MedCon (X)MedCon Packages library programs -------- ------- -------- VT-DICOM - - + + - - - - - - - -> medcon (command-line) (static) | | | | | | + - -> libmdc | (static/shared) LJPG - - + | (static) | | | Gtk+ - - - - - - - - + - - - - - - - -> xmedcon (graphical) GdkPixbuf (shared) Contacts: -------- Any problems? e-mail: enlf-at-users.sourceforge.net Where to get?
