Fixing external projects

If you generated a MITK project using the BundleGenerator, your projects build system probably needs a couple of tweaks to work with the new CTK-based BlueBerry.

• Your custom executable needs a different set of include directories. The new variables to use are:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake"> INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(

 ${org_blueberry_osgi_INCLUDE_DIRS}
 ${Poco_INCLUDE_DIRS}
 ${mbilog_INCLUDE_DIRS}

) </syntaxhighlight>

• The TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES command for your executable should now look like

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake"> TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(<executable-target> org_blueberry_osgi) </syntaxhighlight>

• Your applications .ini file needs an additional entry:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake"> BlueBerry.provisioning=@MITK_PLUGIN_PROVISIONING_FILE@ </syntaxhighlight>

• Your executables .cpp file usually contains a statement like

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">

1. include <org.blueberry.osgi/src/application/berryStarter.h>

</syntaxhighlight>

which must be changed to

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">

1. include <berryStarter.h>

</syntaxhighlight>

• Further, your executables .cpp file must now create a QApplication instance. So add the include directive "#include <QApplication>" and add the following lines at the beginning of your main method:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> // Create a QApplication instance first QApplication myApp(argc, argv); myApp.setApplicationName("MyApp"); myApp.setOrganizationName("My Organization"); </syntaxhighlight>

• On Windows, you have to fix the batch files used for starting Visual Studio or the application itself. The files are called start<project-name>.bat.in and startVS2008.bat.in and are located in your projects source directory. In both files, the line which sets the PATH variable should now look like:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> PATH=@MITK_RUNTIME_PATH@;@CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY@/@VS_BUILD_TYPE@;%PATH% </syntaxhighlight>

Don't forget to re-run CMake after editing the files.

• Usually, your external project contains also BlueBerry bundles. You must fix them by following the instructions provided here.
