Building dcm4chee

Build Requirements

In order to build the components of the dcm4chee archive application you will need to download and install:

• Ant 1.7.x http://ant.apache.org/
• XDoclet 1.2.3 http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/
• Apache FOP 0.20.5 http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ (use 0.20.5 version, not newer)
• Jakarta Cactus 1.8.0 http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/ (only needed to build the test suite for dcm4jboss-ejb, not needed to build the application)
• JBoss 4.2.3 GA http://labs.jboss.com/jbossas/downloads/
• Maven 2.0.9 http://maven.apache.org/

In addition, you'll need the dcm4chee source code. In order to create the dcm4chee source directories, check out dcm4jboss-all from SVN:

svn co https://dcm4che.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dcm4che/dcm4che14/trunk dcm4che14
svn co https://dcm4che.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dcm4che/dcm4chee/dcm4chee-arr/trunk dcm4chee-arr
svn co https://dcm4che.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dcm4che/dcm4chee/dcm4chee-audit/trunk dcm4chee-audit
svn co https://dcm4che.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dcm4che/dcm4chee/dcm4chee-docstore/tags/DCM4CHEE_XDS_1_0_0 dcm4chee-docstore
svn co https://dcm4che.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dcm4che/dcm4chee/dcm4chee-xds-infoset/tags/DCM4CHEE_XDS_1_0_0 dcm4chee-xds-infoset
svn co https://dcm4che.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dcm4che/dcm4chee/dcm4chee-arc/trunk dcm4jboss-all

Build Instructions

Create an environment variable pointing to the Ant home directory (ANT_HOME) and add the $ANT_HOME/bin directory to your PATH.

The build scripts dcm4jboss-all/dcm4jboss-xxx/build.xml assumes following locations of XDoclet, JBoss, Apache FOP, Jakarta Cactus and dcm4che14:

xdoclet.home=${user.home}/xdoclet-1.2.3

jboss.home=${user.home}/jboss-4.2.3.GA

fop.home=${user.home}/fop-0.20.5

cactus.home=${user.home}/cactus-1.8.0-bin

m2.repos=${user.home}/.m2/repository

dcm4che14.home=${user.home}/dcm4che14/build/dcm4che-1.4.22

3rd Party Dependency Paths Each of the dcm4chee projects contains a file called build.properties.default in its root directory. These files contain the paths to dependencies to third party libraries that the projects need in order to compile. Copy each build.properties.default file to build.properties in the same directory. Edit these files and put in the necessary path information so that the compilation process can find the dependencies. The build scripts will automatically look for the build.properties files. Alternatively, you may combine all of the build.properties entries into a single build.properties file in the root dcm4jboss-all directory in order to avoid editing so many files.

Change to the working build directory:

cd dcm4jboss-all/dcm4jboss-build

and invoke:

ant dist

to build all components and pack them in binary distribution packages:
