This project uses Conan to download MatchPoint and build it using CMake. ITK is required as a dependency and is also downloaded and built using Conan and CMake.
To install Conan (tested with Conan 1.22), see the Conan documentation. It is recommended to use a virtual environment with python.
After you activated your virtual environment and installed Conan (see install packages), check if Conan is set up correctly by typing conan.
Conan should have automatically set up a remote repository, the Conan center. If you type
conan remote list
you will get a list of all your remote repositories. For a new install this should be:
WARN: Remotes registry file missing, creating default one in [...]remotes.json
conan-center: https://conan.bintray.com [Verify SSL: True]
If you type
conan search matchpoint
you will get the message
There are no packages matching the 'matchpoint' pattern
which means that no MatchPoint package is found in your local cache.
MatchPoint requires ITK as dependency (or requirement). A Conan recipe for installing ITK as a local Conan package is included in this repository: The conanfile.py describes the configuration and build steps for the ITK package. To install this package into your local cache, change to the itk-directory in your local copy of this repository and type
conan create .
. refers to the current directory so this only works if the command is called from withing the itk-directory.
This will configure and build ITK using CMake, given the CMake definitions of the recipe. Additionally a simple test is performed using this conanfile.py. After building, packaging and testing the ITK package, you will see this output:
itk/4.13.2 (test package): Calling build()
[...]
itk/4.13.2 (test package): Running test()
Test
For more information about Conan packages, see Creating Packages.
To see if everything worked well, you can type
conan search itk
to get an output like this:
Existing package recipes:
itk/4.13.2
You have now successfully installed ITK 4.13.2 into your local cache.
If the package itk/4.13.2 exists in your local cache, you can install the MatchPoint package by changing to the matchpoint-directory and typing
conan create .
. refers to the current directory so this only works if the command is called from withing the matchpoint-directory.
This will configure and build MatchPoint using CMake, given the CMake definitions of the recipe.
To see if everything worked well, you can type
conan search matchpoint
to get an output like this:
Existing package recipes:
matchpoint/0.1
You have now successfully installed MatchPoint into your local cache.
