Arch Linux User Repository

@bartus You could simply install this pkg from Arch Linux Chinese Community Repository. I also maintain pkg teem there with cmake fix. So, if you'd like to build 3dslicer from source, you also need the teem pkg from ArchLiuxCN repo. You could check all pkg build log in ArchLinuxCN repo here.

Won't build after f921426afaf3 against modified teems package #792288 (cmake issue):

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.19/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:3116 (get_property):
  get_property could not find TARGET teem.  Perhaps it has not yet been
  created.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake-3.19/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:3433 (_ep_add_configure_command)
  SuperBuild.cmake:560 (ExternalProject_Add)
  CMakeLists.txt:687 (include)

Without modifying teems got this error.

-- SuperBuild -   teem[OK] (SYSTEM)
CMake Error at SuperBuild/External_teem.cmake:15 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Teem" with any of
  the following names:

    TeemConfig.cmake
    teem-config.cmake

@bartus sorry, but pkg teem is not maintained by me.

teem package cmake configuration is broken, already posted a patch to the maintainer

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teem/#comment-792288

Perhaps consider packaging the svn version of the teem for AUR as it had cmake configuration rewritten in 2019 ( teem:1.10.0 is from 2012 )

Hi, I could now build 3dslicer from the source, see also the PKGBUILD. You could install it from Arch Linux Chinese Community Repository.

Two issues:

• Symlinking /opt/3dslicer/Slicer is fragile to execution directory (only full path works from my home dir). Solution: Do what zotero does; wrap by symlink to path-resolving script, e.g.

#!/usr/bin/bash
exec "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")" "$@"

• XDG desktop file fails due to icon suffix (.png), check with desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/3dslicer.desktop, thus not displaying the application. Solution: Drop file suffix in .desktop (icons found by stem alone).

I also suggest /usr/share as an install prefix rather than /opt, if possible.

@gdolle It's really hard to build 3dslicer from source. It would compile python 2.7 from source and bundle with 3dslicer.

I agree with @hottea, this should be named 3dslicer-bin (existing now). Maybe change this PKGBUILD to follow build from source instructions https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Build_Instructions#Linux

My NVIDIA graphics card is not used i.e. turning of a volume blurs the model. Any advice?
