-----------------

cpPlugins is developed in C++11 and makes extensive use of CMake (>=3.0),
VTK (>=7.0) and ITK (>=4.10). Qt (=4.8) could be used at will.

In order to compile it, you will need a development environment that includes:

  - A decent C++11 compiler. If you use g++ (on linux-like machines) or Xcode
    (on Mac boxes) you should be ok. On Windows, is rather difficult (thanks
    Microsoft?), but it is recommened to use the MinGW environment.
  - make.
  - git, if you want to gain access to the latest versions of every package.
  - GLUT.
  - whatever your compiler complains about... ;-)

A convenient shell script (cpPlugins_Install_Dependencies.sh) is distributed
with this notice in order to simplify the base librraries installation process.
You could use it to compile Qt, CMake, ITK and VTK, as long as you have
downloaded the compressed files of each package:

  - Qt    : http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.7/
  - CMake : http://www.cmake.org
  - ITK   : http://www.itk.org
  - VTK   : http://www.vtk.org

As an extra, this script will try to perform a draft configuration of cpPlugins
with the given base libraries. After this, you are on your own :-)

This script has been tested on: Ubuntu.
