Subject: BRAINS build problem in Ubuntu platform

Dear David,

I found your contact e-mail in the https://github.com/dmwelch while trying to find a way to overcome some problems when building BRAINS in my Ubuntu platform.

I have to apologize in advance if I was not supposed to contact you for such an issue. If this is the case could you please inform me where should I refer to?

My problem is the following.While building the  BRAINSStandAlone using the guides provided in the README file

I had the following problem:

[ 78%] No install step for 'BRAINSTools'

[ 78%] Completed 'BRAINSTools'

and the bin directory had only very few executable files (not including BRAINSMush which I am mainly interested for).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ls /home/dinos/src/brainsmush/BRAINSStandAlone-build/bin

BRAINSCleanMask         ProcessShader

GenerateAverageLmkFile  TestlandmarksConstellationTrainingDefinitionIO

H5detect                vtkEncodeString

H5make_libsettings      vtkHashSource

itkTestDriver           vtkmkg3states

LmkStatistics           vtkParseOGLExt

lproj

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More details on the building process can be found on the attached .txt file.

Thank you in advance and I apologise again if I caused you any discomfort.

With best Regards

Hi Thanellas,

Not a problem.  Looking at your txt file, BRAINS has finished building.  There is not installation step because BRAINS is tailored to work primarily with Slicer (www.slicer.org), so it has some architectual decisions that reflect that.  You have encountered one of them! :-)

If you look in your lib/ directory, you should find all the executables from BRAINS there, including BRAINSMush.  Slicer doesn't like to use command line executables since it has to cache output files to the system, so it prefers libraries.  This is a hack, more or less, to get Slicer to play nice with our code.

Hope that helps,

Dave Welch

Actually i installed successfully with this steps 

i used cmake GUI and create unix project then hit configure then generate and finally press make on terminal.

let it build with downloading all file it need.


but i wanna ask  can i separate project called iccdef from the whole project. and if yes can u tell me how?

beside i wanna configure the whole project i mean i want to know how can i use it and extend it.

regards
