Arbor Build Instructions

Arbor is a brand name of Visomics at the moment. The source code repository of Arbor is the Visomics repository.

To build Arbor, please follow the instructions below:

Required libraries:

• Qt: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/installation.html

1) Obtain the latest Visomics source code from git repository:

 cd  /home/yourname/work/src
 git clone  git://visomics.org/visomics.git

2) Install R in your system http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html

3) Configure and Build Visomics ( assuming you have CMake installed)

 cd /home/yourname/work/bin
 mkdir Arbor
 cd Arbor
 ccmake  /home/yourname/work/src/visomics
 # please follow the configuration instructions listed below to configure your build tree.
 make

• The build-in CMake magic will trigger the downloading and build of VTK. (If you want to use your local build of VTK, you could set up the "VTK_DIR" manually.)
• Depending on how you installed R in your system, you probably need to manually set the "R_COMMAND" CMake variable to help find the R related settings.
• Please turn on the CMake Variable "USE_ARBOR_BRAND", which will brand the visomics gui name into Arbor.
• Also, please turn off the "BUILD_TESTING" to disable all the tests for now. Since we haven't set up the VisomicsData repo yet.

MAC OS X Packaging Instructions:

• Run CMake from Visomics-Build dir of your build tree, and turn on "CMAKE_BINARY_PACKAGEMAKER"
• Then, type "make package [VERBOSE=1]" to generate the package ".dmg" file.
