[MINC-users] compiling the minc suite

[Pierre Bellec]

Dear MINC users,

I just finished compiling all of the MINC tools using the big make
file<http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MINC/Tutorials/SourceInstall> writen
by Vladimir and it worked like a charm. A million thanks for that ! I still
ran into a couple of minor issues to get NIAK to work, and I thought I would
report them for potential future improvements :

1. mincmorph does not build with the "minc-full" option of make. I am not
sure whether this is intentional or not, because it is possible to build
mincmorph latter using a dedicated "make mincmorph" command.
2. Two packages are missing that are used in the NIAK T1 preprocessing
pipeline : inormalize and classify. Again, I don't know if that was meant to
be that way, but it would be useful for me to have them in the installation
script.
3. There was a couple of dependencies on packages that were missing in the
documentation (autoconf and byacc). I added them in the wiki :

sudo apt-get install libnetcdf-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libnetpbm9-dev \
  fftw-dev libgsl0-dev libgetopt-tabular-perl libxext-dev glutg3-dev
libsoqt3-dev \
  libxmu-dev libxi-dev imagemagick libtext-format-perl libpcre++0 libpcre3 \
  libsimage-dev libpcre++-dev autoconf perl-byacc

However I did not apply these changes in the documentation of the makefile
itself.

I hope this helps. Best regards,
