Thank you for the response. I am still trying to understand the MITK build
setup. Are there specific version of VTK, ITK, and GDCM that I should
download and use?? I know you had said the third party downloads are not
specific but I need choose a version so if there is a recommended one to use
that would be helpful.
So if I do choose to download my own version of VTK 5.6.1, ITK 3.20 and GDCM
2.0.18 and build it myself I am wondering the steps needed to make it work.
1. Put each third party library in it's own source directory.
2. Use CMake for each third party project and build them into a build
directory with the appropriate settings. Do I need to open the third party
solutions and build them before running CMake on MITK??
3. Then run Cmake on MITK setting the 3 directories for VTK, GDCM, and
ITK. Do I uncheck the MITK_USE_SUPERBUILD. Is there any other settings for
this build I need to setup, check, or uncheck??
4. Then if this works then what .sln for MITK do I build?? Will this
solution build the third party code or do I have to do that myself??
What I have done right now it I have run CMake on VTK, ITK, and GDCM and
then attempt to run CMake on MITK. I set the GDCM_DIR, VTK_DIR, and ITK_DIR
to the appropriate directory. I turn off MITK_USE_SUPERBUILD and select MITK
to BUILD_ALL_PLUGINS. When I run CMAKE it can't find my GDCM version. The
version is blank which means it can't find it. I built my ITK with the
ITK_USE_SYSTEM_GDCM turned off. The GDCM version I have built using CMake is
2.0.19.
Just wondering if there are some general instructions on how to build the
way I am trying to build?
Thank you,
Miranda

Hi Miranda,
you can use MITK with your own libraries as well, e.g. if you build a VTK
5.6.1 yourself you can set the VTK_DIR to this build tree in the MITK
configuration and the superbuild won't download and build VTK. The same
applies for the other 3rd party libraries. You can have a look at the files
in CMakeExternals to see how it works. There you will also find the options
we use to build the toolkits, other options may or may not work.
The source codes in http://mitk.org/download/thirdparty are not specific. If
we change something there we do it with a patch step in superbuild (like for
DCMTK) or will mark it clearly as a modified version.
Please note that for GDCM there is an unresolved compilation issue with GDCM
> 2.0.15 and ITK 3.20, a workaround is described here:
http://bugs.mitk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8801 .
Using the latest git-Versions of these libraries could work but is generally
unsupported. If you want to contribute changes to MITK to make it compatible
with these versions we would be happy to integrate them.
Best,
Marco

Hello,
I am curious if MITK needs to be built and used with the VTK, ITK, and GDCM
that MITK downloads when the superbuild is performed. I want to be able to
build MITK without being forced to download the third party libraries but
wanted to clarify which versions I need to build myself. Are the versions on
http://mitk.org/download/thirdparty specific?? If I download a generic
version of VTK5.6.1 from the VTK website will MITK still work? I had read
on the mitk mailing list
"recently we improved the DICOM reading code in mitk::DicomSeriesReader.
Since this class was getting really complicated (it supported GDCM before
and after 2.0, plus ITK's DICOMIO) and most of the functional, new code
relied on GDCM 2, we decided to remove support for other options.
A consequence of this is that MITK core now requires ITK to be built with a
custom compile of GDCM (2.0.14 is the version that is currently built by
super-build). We are sorry if this causes inconveniences for you.
We hope this change will benefit any developers who want to understand or
improve DicomSeriesReader and it will also make sure that more DICOM images
are loaded correctly with MITK."
So this made me think that if I git the ITK and GDCM repositories from
their specific sites hat MITK will not compile or run. Can you please
clarify if MITK needs specific versions. I would like to be able to clone
the VTK, ITK, and GCDM repositories from their own site so I can benefit
from bug fixes and added features.
Thank you,
