Hi Miri,

I am happy to hear that you managed to compile and set-up MITK. The tutorial steps will teach you how to use MITK as a "toolkit". The MITK "ExtApp" is a quite advanced application based on our BlueBerry application framework.

Starting with the tutorials to get acquainted with the MITK toolkit is a very good approach.

Hi all,

I'm trying to get started with MITK by following the tutorial steps.
Unfortunately, I have some difficulties with the environment (I'm using Visual studio 2008) during the first tutorial (which is called: Step1).

First of all, I built MITK. What should I do now in order to get started with the tutorial? - I need to run startVS_debug.bat/ startExtApp_debug.bat which are in my MITK-superbuild/MITK-build ? what are the differences between them?

Use "startVS_debug.bat" if you are using a Debug build. This will start up Visual Studio with the correct solution file and with the Windows PATH environment vairable correctly set up to point to all the required third-party libs (ITK, VTK, Qt, etc.). This is *not* needed during the development phase, but necessary for starting your MITK application (for example a tutorial step).

Secondly, how to integrate between VS and MITK in order to operate Step1.cpp (and display an image). I've realized that I should do the following steps and put in one folder these three files:

   1. copy step1.cpp into a new folder - the folder has to be in a
      specific location in the MITK-superbuild tree?
   2. batch file: how should I know which paths to put in this file?
   3. CMakeList.txt: copy the CMakeLists.txt that Sascha had posted
      and put it in the same directory as step.cpp file?
   4. I need to do another things ?

It really depends on what you want to do. The MITK-ProjectTemplate is already quite sophisticated. If you are new to CMake and just want to learn and play with MITK for the moment, I would advise you to just use the MITK sources directly and modify Step(n).cpp to try out a couple of things. Later on, you might want to use the MITK-ProjecTemplate.

I would also advise against copying files and CMake scripts from different sources. That makes answering mails infinitely harder (unless you have a very specific problem and problem description).

Best,
Sascha
