Hello There are some custom models we are able to build it using old version of slicer 4.05, VS 2013 and QT 4.X.
Now I wanted to upgrade the slicer into latest version that is 4.13 and along with custom models.
While I was building our custom models. Cmake files are throwing error.
Please let me know what is correct format to build the slicer with custom models(which are written in C++,Qt,Python)
Please share me if there is any example cmake files for building that is written in C++.
You can have a look at how other extensions that were ported from old Slicer versions and Qt4 to current version. For example SlicerIGT and SlicerRT. You can search for Qt5 in commits to see what changes were required for Qt5 compatibility.
I ran below command for building.
“C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe” -G “Visual Studio 16 2019” -A x64 -DQt5_DIR:PATH=C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\lib\cmake\Qt5 C:\D\S4
After running above command I got below error.
– SuperBuild - JOM_EXECUTABLE:D:/W2/SPMTR-rel/jom/jom.exe
– SuperBuild - Qt4[OK]
CMake Error at CMake/Superbuild/External_Qt4.cmake:71 (message):
Building Qt using visual studio 1928 is NOT supported !
Call Stack (most recent call first):
D:/W2/SPMTR-rel/slicersources-src/CMake/ExternalProjectDependency.cmake:842 (include)
External_Qt4.cmake file snapshot is like below.
Through above config openSSL file not downloaded.
I have marked the line where the error occurs. Actually the above one is worked for old QT, Now Its is giving error for building through QT5.15.2.
Please guide me how can i fix these build issues.
I would recommend to first build Slicer by following build instructions word by word. Once that you confirm that everything works well, then if you want you can start experimenting with changing things (building your own Qt, using different versions of libraries, etc.), one step at a time, and always starting from a clean build.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have followed the build instruction. I have built the SlicerCAT without any problem. I have added some models to it and started building. I got following build error.
