The following instructions are valid as of November 2011 (if something is incorrect, please report an issue).
Prerequisties
- git version 1.6.5 or later
- Qt version 4.6.3 or later
- CMake 2.8.4 or later
Download
| Anonymous checkout | Anonymous checkout behind a firewall | CTK developer with write access |
|---|---|---|
git clone git://github.com/commontk/CTK.git |
git clone http://github.com/commontk/CTK.git |
git clone git@github.com:commontk/CTK.git |
Build with CMake
mkdir CTK-superbuild cd CTK-superbuild ccmake ../CTK make
CMake Configuration
- set QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE for 4.6 development install if needed (use {path/to/qt}/bin/qmake not {path/to/qt}/qmake/qmake)
- turn on the parts of CTK you want to build
Simple Git
These are shortcuts for people used to the 'cvs or svn style' of source code management:
Checkout
- checkout
git clone git@github.com:commontk/CTK.git
(or use anonymous option listed above)
Update
git pull --rebase
Commit
- commit (commit is to local version, push sends it to upstream server)
git add <changed files> git commit -m <message> git push
Intermediate Git
- check update before merging (look at diff):
git fetch git diff origin master git rebase
- Making a repository hosted on github that can track git.vtk.org [1]
- If you have changes pending that you aren't ready to commit, you can't rebase on top of them unless you do this:
git stash git pull --rebase git stash pop
- to get the code from a branch
git clone <repository> <dir> cd <dir> git checkout origin/<branchname>
Links
List of needed tools and libraries used when building CTK:
- Git: To download source code
- Qt: Dependency needed. You need to compile it in your machine before building CTK
- CMake: Cross-platform build system
- Patch for Windows: Needed to apply patches to external thirdparty libraries source code
- SVN: To update some third-party libraries automatically like PythonQt
- CVS: To update some third-party libraries automatically like KWStyle
Optional:
