ITK Release 4/Microscopy/File Formats/Bio-Formats

This page describes the process of building the ITK adaptors to the Bio-Format library.

Download JACE

Check out the Jace source code:

   svn co -r 39 https://jace.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jace/trunk /path/to/jace

Where

   /path/to/jace 

is the desired location of your Jace source code checkout.

The "-r 39" matters, since Jace revisions 40 and later may not work with bf-cpp. As of this writing, the most recent revision was 52, and it does not compile on some systems. We currently recommend revision 39.
