[Ctk-developers] Moving BlueBerry Framework from MITK towards CTK making it independant of the massive MITK setup

[Ramazan Ergüder Bekrek]

Greetings,

I am still in the pursuit of happiness with this endeavor of moving BlueBerry from MITK downward to CTK. Up until now I didn't receive any feedback with that repository that I created as a branch. 

I still persisted and almost got it working but due to my lack of CMake understanding I think a little support from all of you would be appreciated. I almost was able to compile org.blueberry.core.runtime as I had it converted to a CTK plugin format when it complained that mbilog was missing its include files.

I've checked mbilog in MITK and saw that it was a MITK Module. Since there is no module in CTK I thought the equivalent could be a Lib like the Core, PluginFramework, etc...

So I converted the mbilog as a CTK Library and almost got it work. Unfortunately I don't understand what is mbilog and also I ask myself if there is no such equivalent available in CTK already that we could just adapt org.blueberry.core.runtime to use that instead of mbilog.

This is the error I am getting when I try to compile 

1>    CTKCore.vcxproj -> G:\programming\cpp\CTK\build\CTK-build\bin\Debug\CTKCore.dll
1>    CTKWidgets.vcxproj -> G:\programming\cpp\CTK\build\CTK-build\bin\Debug\CTKWidgets.dll
1>    CTKWidgetsPlugins.vcxproj -> G:\programming\cpp\CTK\build\CTK-build\bin\designer\Debug\CTKWidgetsPlugins.dll
1>    CTKPluginFramework.vcxproj -> G:\programming\cpp\CTK\build\CTK-build\bin\Debug\CTKPluginFramework.dll
1>    Generating moc_mbilogExports.cpp
1>    moc: G:/programming/cpp/CTK/Libs/mbilog/mbilogExports.h: No such file

I created this include file to reflect the structure from MITK inside of CTK/Libs/Core/include:MITK/Modules/Core/include :
https://github.com/al-sabr/CTK/blob/d39f75568a08cbd0efca6042e17b2a68567b9d0a/Libs/Core/include/ctkLogMacros.h#L1

I did the standard export directive here :
https://github.com/al-sabr/CTK/blob/d39f75568a08cbd0efca6042e17b2a68567b9d0a/Libs/Core/CMakeLists.txt#L17

I still don't get why this file is not created by CTK.

I also added this line from MITK in CTK/Libs/Core/CMakeLists.txt
https://github.com/al-sabr/CTK/blob/d39f75568a08cbd0efca6042e17b2a68567b9d0a/Libs/Core/CMakeLists.txt#L19

The only thing I could not get my head around is this part which I could not translate to CTK. I think there is no equivalent but if there is one please let me know:
https://github.com/al-sabr/CTK/blob/2359469f3d321a04b6078f49ee51168cf958536a/Libs/mbilog/CMakeLists.txt#L44
