1 For a general introduction/features/limitations/requirement please

4 Just a quick note on the build process of GDCM. GDCM build process
5 make use of the cmake software(*). This allow us:
6 1. To get rid of the autoconf/autotools insanity
7 2. Transparently generate Unix Makefiles, NMake Makefiles,
8 Borland Makefiles, VS6/7/8 Project, XCode 1.5...
9 3. Automatic nightly testing, one of the most important thing
10 for a robust library/software devlpt process. GDCM devpt is develop
11 based on the XP definition, and to preserve backward compatibility
12 make sure that code is working from one release to another: each night
13 we configure, we build and we test GDCM. The result are then send to
14 the dashboard located at:
16 http://public.kitware.com/dashboard.php?name=gdcm
18 A continuous dashboard make also sure that aby commit did not introduce
19 any error on another plateform, a warning or broke a test...
21 Therefore you should be able to use GDCM from the bleeding edge without
22 knowing to much on what is going on. All you need to do is have a look
23 at the GDCM dashboard, and if your plateform is 'green' then you can
24 update your cvs copy and compile safely knowing that there are very few chances
25 that something won't work. Cheers !
