Welcome To Opticks Development

This is where development on the Opticks application takes place. If you just want to download and use Opticks, you'll want to make your way back to the Opticks Home Page. If you want to write extensions for Opticks, you'll want to head to Opticks Extension Development.

Source Code

The Opticks source code is stored in Subversion.

Here are the Subversion options you need:

• Username: None (i.e. you do not need to provide a username)
• Password: None (i.e. since no username is required, no password is required)
• URL for the repository: https://opticks.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/opticks
• URL for the extras repository: https://opticks-extras.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/opticks-extras

We currently have two trunks. The first trunk is a binary compatible trunk which is available at: https://opticks.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/opticks/trunk/4.7.X. We also have a binary incompatible trunk which is available at: https://opticks.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/opticks/trunk/future.

The trunk layout for the extras repository is similar to the Opticks repository.

If you don't have a Subversion client, you can use browse the Opticks repository on-line or Opticks Extras repository on-line using just your web browser.

Git mirrors of the Opticks and Extras repositories are available on github. Information in the mirrors can be found here .

Build Instructions

The Solaris and Windows build instructions are actually stored along with the code. Once you check out the Opticks Trunk, please read README.Solaris or README.Windows as appropriate. These instructions also mention the compilers that you will need to compile Opticks.

On Windows, the Visual Studio compiler is used. On Solaris, the Sun Studio compiler suite is used. On Solaris, we use a tool called scons instead of using make and Makefiles.
