[MINC-users] minc install

[Leila Baghdadi]

Alice,

I fully agree with Andrew on this,

I built minc2 for windows a few years ago (with .net) and managed to get a few things that I needed working, (specially for our recon software which creates a minc2 file from vff files).
however, I also noticed building on windows is not a straightforward case not to mention alot of libraries that are used in the linux version simply do not exist in windows (well I am talking about windows xp, have no idea about windows 7),

my strategy to attack windows was using cmake (cmake.org) to create all my project files (I found it really simple) before I could proceed and compile, if you still want to build on windows, just send me an email and I will dig my cmake file for you but that's all.

good luck

Leila

It has none problemwhen I compile and build the program, but it has the error that " it can't find the minc2.dllfile ,the file was not started ,it may be broken , reinstall it maybe salve the problem ". I  triedto download  and reinstall it  for several times, but it also has the problem .

From the little I remember about windows programming minc2.dll will
have to be in the same directory as the executable (.exe) you are
trying to run. The MSVC build file you are using was written a while
back by Bert Vincent who has long since left MINC development. I have
been keeping the file up to date where I can but I don't build MINC
for windows on a regular basis.

In the past I have used MINC on windows via cygwin but even then
things really aren't that great.
My suggestion is that if you really really still want to persevere
with MINC on windows is that you use the neurodebian virtual machine
and then install MINC in there via the prebuilt debian/ubuntu
packages.

Good luck!


Andrew
