Slicer3 Launch and Pack:Setting up an efficient and workable deployment solution for Slicer3 Plan/Expected Challenges/Publication Team Define details of slicer3’s launcher (order from the current chaos). Issues: quick startup, cross-platform maintainability, finding modules, error detection/feedback… Options: static builds, C++ launcher, Tcl Launcher, BAT/Shell Scripts… Steve Pieper, Will Schroeder, Sebastien Barre, Jim Miller, Bill Lorensen, Andy Cedilnik Accomplished by end of Programming Week • Plan: • a starpack solution like slicer2 uses will beput in place (Steve) • this is a fully-static executable that can be programmed in tcl/tk to set up the environment and launch/monitor the Slicer3-real process • Meeting took place on Friday – everyone was in attendance. • Consensus: • cannot build static since plugins may require any/all of vtk/itk/slicer • dynamic builds require launcher to find shared libraries • launcher has other benefits: • quick splash screen • catch errors/crashes
