Install and Configure The Environment to Develop VolView on Windows


1. Install CMake

CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, pre-processor generation, code generation, and template instantiation.

Go to http://cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html and download cmake-2.8.7-win32-x86.exe to install.

2. Install Visual Studio 2008

Download and install Visual Studio 2010.

3. VolView

Go to http://www.kitware.com/products/vvdownload.html and download VolViewSrc.tar.gz. The current version VolView 3.4 only support Visual Studio 2008, there will be compilation errors under VS 2010 or higher.

Use CMake to configure and generate the code. Enjoy!
