[IGSTK-Developers] IGSTK

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Akash,

If you have Linux or Cygwin, then you should be able to use cvs command.

in the shell window, try
which cvs

if it gives you a path, then you have cvs command, if it shows
cvs: Command not found.
Then you have to install the cvs first or setting the path to this cvs 
executable.

Please follow this page to set up IGSTK
http://public.kitware.com/IGSTKWIKI/index.php/How_to_build_IGSTK
You need download ITK, VTK, and FLTK first.

Once you get there, you can then use 'ccmake' to make the project files 
for those libraries, and followed by a 'make' command to compile the 
libraries.

To check out the IGSTK
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/IGSTK login
To the password question replay with "igstk" in lower case.
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/IGSTK co IGSTK

To check out the IGSTKSandbox (some components under rapid development)
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/IGSTK co IGSTK

The best way to learn to use the IGSTK is to look at the IGSTK/testing 
directory program for classes and the example applications in the 
IGSTKSandbox/Example directory.

We are preparing for the first pre-official release for SPIE in this 
Feb. And hopefully to release the "IGSTK:The Book" at the same time 
(Documentationa and user guide for this toolkit)

Feel free to email me when you get there and need further assistance.

Patrick

PS: We'd appreciate that you can answer us several questions so that we 
can assist you better:

1. What do you want to use IGSTK for?

2. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? (your research area, 
what do you use for software development)
