Building command line version:

This requires a C compiler. With a terminal, change directory to the 'conosle' folder and run the following: g++ -O3 -lz main_console.cpp nii_dicom.cpp nifti1_io_core.cpp nii_ortho.cpp nii_dicom_batch.cpp -s -o dcm2niix if you do not have zlib,you can compile without it by defining "myDisableZLib ": g++ -O3 -DmyDisableZLib main_console.cpp nii_dicom.cpp nifti1_io_core.cpp nii_ortho.cpp nii_dicom_batch.cpp -s -o dcm2niix

Building command line version universal binary from OSX 64 bit system: This requires a C compiler. With a terminal, change directory to the 'conosle' folder and run the following: g++ -O3 -lz main_console.cpp nii_dicom.cpp nifti1_io_core.cpp nii_ortho.cpp nii_dicom_batch.cpp -s -o dcm2niix -s -arch i386 -o dcm2niix32 g++ -O3 -lz main_console.cpp nii_dicom.cpp nifti1_io_core.cpp nii_ortho.cpp nii_dicom_batch.cpp -s -o dcm2niix -s -o dcm2niix64 lipo -create dcm2niix32 dcm2niix64 -o dcm2niix To validate that the resulting executable supports both architectures type file ./dcm2niix

Building OSX graphical user interface using XCode: Copy contents of "console" folder to /xcode/dcm2/core Open and compile "dcm2.xcodeproj" with XCode 4.6 or later

Building QT graphical user interface: Open "dcm2.pro" with QTCreator. This should work on OSX and Linux. On Windows the printf information is not redirected to the user interface If compile gives you grief look at the .pro file which has notes for different operating systems.

Building using wxWidgets wxWdigets makefiles are pretty complex and specific for your operating system. For simplicity, we will build the "clipboard" example that comes with wxwidgets and then substitute our own code. The process goes something like this. a.) Install wxwdigets b.) successfully "make" the samples/clipboard program c.) DELETE console/makefile. WE DO NOT WANT TO OVERWRITE the WX MAKEFILE d.) with the exception of "makefile", copy the contents of console to /samples/clipboard e.) overwrite the original /samples/clipboard.cpp with the dcm2niix file of the same name f.) Older XCodes have problems with .cpp files, whereas wxWidgets's makefiles do not compile with "-x cpp". So the core files are called '.c' but we will rename them to .cpp for wxWidgets: rename 's/.c$/.cpp/' * g.) edit the /samples/clipboard makefile: Add "nii_dicom.o nifti1_io_core.o nii_ortho.o nii_dicom_batch.o " to CLIPBOARD_OBJECTS: CLIPBOARD_OBJECTS =
nii_dicom.o nifti1_io_core.o nii_ortho.o nii_dicom_batch.o
$(__clipboard___win32rc)
$(__clipboard_os2_lib_res)
clipboard_clipboard.o h.) edit the /samples/clipboard makefile: With wxWidgets we will capture std::cout comments, not printf, so we need to add "-DDmyUseCOut" to CXXFLAGS: CXXFLAGS = -DmyUseCOut -DWX_PRECOMP .... i.) For a full refresh rm clipboard rm *.o make
