MITK on MacOS

MacOS support for MITK is rather new. This page summarizes how to build a MacOS version and some known issues. If you have already used MITK it all boils down to: use the right Qt version.


Building the required toolkits

Use Qt with Cocoa support

Use Qt 4.6.2 or newer.

Use the Cocoa version.


Make sure to use the Carbon version of Qt 4.6.2 or newer. The Carbon version and Qt version prior to 4.6.2 produced some unwanted effects e.g. in the display of render windows.

You can select the right version here:


Note that you might also want to install the debug-libs package (in addition to the normal library!).


Building VTK

(These notes apply to VTK 5.4.2)

Some notes about MacOS, Cocoa and VTK from Kitware can be found here:

Download VTK and configure it using CMake. Use these options:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake"> BUILD_SHARED_LIBS = ON VTK_USE_PARALLEL = ON VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT = ON (advanced option) </syntaxhighlight>

(configure)

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake"> VTK_USE_QVTK = ON </syntaxhighlight>

(configure)

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake"> DESIRED_QT_VERSION = 4 </syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake"> (configure) (configure) (generate) </syntaxhighlight>

Build...

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> make </syntaxhighlight>

Then optionally install (recommended).

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> make install </syntaxhighlight>


Building ITK

ITK builds without problems. Download it www.itk.org, configure using CMake, then build and install. The only important CMake option is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake"> BUILD_SHARED_LIBS = ON </syntaxhighlight>

Build and install as usual...

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> make make install </syntaxhighlight>


Building and running MITK

Nothing different from Linux or Windows, read the Build Instructions

There is a minor issue in starting/running MITK: you have to manually set the search path of the dynamic linker to the directory containing the VTK libraries. A bash script similar to this one should start MITK successfully:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/mitk/toolkits/vtk-5.4.2-Release/lib/vtk-5.4/:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/user/mitk/bin/MitkWorkbench </syntaxhighlight>

You should end up with something like this:
