If you like, you could simply install 3dslicer from ArchLinux CN repo by:
pacman -S 3dslicer-bin
# or
pacman -S 3dslicer-nightly-bin
after adding the ArchLinux CN repo.
Note: this is an unofficial/third-party repo.
The PKGBUILD file is available on AUR. As you can see, it simply repacks the binary tarball, and add a user-friendly desktop entry. Also, by setting
options=(!strip !emptydirs)
the empty dirs would be removed, and strip is not run. That’s all.
If you download the official slicer tarball, extract, and run it, there is no issue related with strip.
BTW, I’m trying to build slicer from the source for ArchLinux. maybe I could help update this doc.
