The Black Box Toolkit
- -

-Wikipedia -defines a black box as "any component in a system in which -only the input and output characteristics are of interest, without -regard to its internal mechanism or structure". -

The Black Box Toolkit (bbtk) is -a set of tools (C++ libraries and executables) providing a C++ -framework for the definition of elementary processing units, -called black boxes, and the definition and execution of -processing chains made up of these black boxes.

+bbtk @BBTK_VERSION@ (@BBTK_VERSION_DATE@)
+

Follow this link if you need to build bbtk from +sources.
+
+Read the users' guide if you +want to learn how to use bbtk development environnement (bbStudio) and +how to write black box scripts.
+
+Read the package +developers' guide to learn how to create your own black boxes and +packages.
+
+Developers might also be interested in doxygen documentation of the +source code of bbtk library.
+
+The boxes lists contain the boxes of bbtk core packages (std,wx,vtk...) +for current version.
+
+All this documentation is also available from bbStudio.

Steps

Download -the required files listed before.

CMAKE -2.4.6

1. -Uninstall previous versions of CMake (if any)

2. -Double clic on the installation file cmake-2.4.6-win32-x86.exe

Install -VTK 5.0.3

1. -Decompress in C:\Creatis\VTK5.0.3, each one in a separate -folder, the -files

   -- vtkdata-5.0.3.tar.gz
-   - vtkDocHtml-5.0.3.tar.gz
-   - basic-miktex-2.6.2742.exe.

2. -Create the project of VTK5.0.3 in CMake with:

-- Binary folder C:\Creatis\VTK5.0.3Bin

-- Configuration:

BUILD_SHARED_LIBS --> ON
-

-If you want to compile the examples set:

BUILD_EXAMPLES --> ON
-

-- Check that the VTK_DATA_ROOT variable at CMake is -C:\Creatis\VTK5.0.3\VTKData

-- Clic configure once again and create (ok) the project

3. -Open -the created VTK project at C:\Creatis\VTK5.0.3Bin\VTK.sln and build the -entire solution

TTH : Decompress the file tth_exe.zip - in -C:\Creatis\tth_exe
-

MikTeX : Double clic on the installation file -basic-miktex-2.6.2742.exe (it is -not necessary to change the default installation path)
-

BBTK

Uncompress -the sources in C:\Creatis\bbtk or checkout the source from the cvs (see Download -page).
