ITK/Release 4/DICOM/Tcon 2011 05 13

Agenda

Weekly Progress

• Built up git expertise in the team
• set up process with the team
• Buildhosts installed
• GDCM forked on github
• ITK with systems gdcm compiled and fixed (mac and linux, missing libs)

Weekly questions and remarks for discussion

• gdcm does not export list of libs and LIBRARY_DIRS, it makes the compilation fails on windows, it is ok on other platforms
  • Need to modify the GDCMConfig.cmake to export those values nicely
  • How to deal with the build tree when there is either "debug" or "release"?
• What is the new correct way to import that on ITK side?
  • old way was : find_package(gdcm required), include( useGDCM )
  • new (modular) way seems to define variables of the like: ITK-<MODULE>_<VARIABLE>
  • absolute path or lib name only ?
  • how to keep it portable (no .lib extension)
• Experimenting with CMake to get proper DCMTK Libraries to link (similar to GDCM integration)
  • Three scenarios for external code:
    • Linking to Libraries that are pre-installed on system
    • Linking to Libraries from the DCMTK build tree
    • DCMTK is downloaded and compiled via the ExternalProjects
  • Link to CMakeFile here
  • CTK version of FindDCMTK.cmake

to do

Phase 1

• iron out all errors and warnings if any left
• merge into ITK proper
• sync up with gdcm

Phase 2

finish implementation

• PACS support => drew
• STREAMING => drew (+luis?)
• RT-STRUCT => Alex
• Abstract layer => CoSMo Software + Mayo Clinic? + luis?
