Installing Shapeworks Studio from source

Dependencies

Qt

Qt binaries and packages are available on the Qt website or can be built from source code. Gcc/Clang/MSVC with C++11 support is required.

CMake

CMake versions 2.8 - 3.4 are supported.

ITK

ITK Insight Toolkit (ITK 4.7+ recommended)

VTK

VTK Visualization ToolKit (VTK 7. recommended)

Compiling From Source

Once you have obtained a compatible compiler and installed Qt on your system, you need to download and install CMake (http://www.cmake.org) to actually build the software. CMake is a platform independent configuring system that is used for generating Makefiles,Visual Studio project files, or Xcode project files.

Compiling ITK

Configure with:

CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS+="-std=c++11"
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=FALSE
BUILD_EXAMPLES=FALSE
BUILD_TESTING=FALSE
ITKV3_COMPATIBILTY=TRUE

Then build ITK.

make -j12 all

You may need to use the CMake GUI in Windows. It is best to configure with “NMake Makefiles”. Once you have configured and generated, you can build in a command prompt.

cd C:\ITK_DIR
mkdir build
cd build
nmake all

Compiling VTK

Configure with:

VTK_Group_Qt=ON
VTK_QT_VERSION=5
Qt5_DIR="/PATH/TO/YOUR/Qt5
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=FALSE
BUILD_EXAMPLES=FALSE
BUILD_TESTING=FALSE

Then build VTK. Note Be sure that you are linking VTK with the same Qt5 Library you are using to build Studio.

make -j12 all

You may need to use the CMake GUI in Windows. It is best to configure with “NMake Makefiles”. Once you have configured and generated, you can build in a command prompt.

cd C:\VTK_DIR
mkdir build
cd build
nmake all

Compiling Shapeworks Studio

Once CMake, Qt, ITK, and VTK have been installed and/or built, run CMake from your build directory and give a path to the ShapeworksStudio directory containing the master CMakeLists.txt file.

Unix and OSX

mkdir ShapeWorksStudio/build
cd ShapeWorksStudio/build
cmake -DVTK_DIR=Path/To/Your/VTK/build -DITK_DIR=Path/To/Your/ITK/build -DQT_DIR=Path/To/Your/Qt5/build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
make

Depending on how you obtained Qt, you may need to specify other Qt directories:

-DQT5WidgetsDIR="Path/To/Qt/5.6/gcc/lib/cmake/Qt5Widgets"
-DQT5OpenGLDIR="Path/To/Qt/5.6/gcc/lib/cmake/Qt5OpenGL"

Windows

Open a Visual Studio 64 bit Native Tools Command Prompt. Follow these commands:

mkdir C:\Path\To\ShapeWorksStudio\build
cd C:\Path\To\ShapeWorksStudio\build
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DVTK_DIR="C:/Path/To/Your/VTK/build" -DITK_DIR="C:/Path/To/Your/ITK/build" -DQT_DIR="C:/Path/To/Your/Qt5/build" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
nmake

NOTE Be sure to copy the Qt5 DLL files to the Executable directory for the program to run.

C:\Qt5_DIR\msvc2015\5.6\bin\Qt5Widgets.dll
C:\Qt5_DIR\msvc2015\5.6\bin\Qt5Core.dll
C:\Qt5_DIR\msvc2015\5.6\bin\Qt5OpenGL.dll
C:\Qt5_DIR\msvc2015\5.6\bin\Qt5Gui.dll

All Platforms

Your paths may differ slightly based on your Qt5, ITK, and VTK versions and where they are installed/built.

The console version ccmake, or GUI version can also be used. You may be prompted to specify your location of the Qt installation. If you installed Qt in the default location, it should find Qt automatically. After configuration is done, generate the make files or project files for your favorite development environment and build.

The ShapeworksStudio application will be built in bin/Application.
