AMIDE stands for: AMIDE's a Medical Image Data Examiner
AMIDE is intended for viewing and analyzing 3D medical imaging data sets. For more information on AMIDE, check out the AMIDE web page at: http://amide.sourceforge.net

For system-wide install, do not use a prefix when running ./configure, and then just:
make
sudo make install
- Compiler:
I currently use gcc-6.3. The later 3.* series (e.g. 3.3) should work as well, along with version 2.95. Early 3.* Versions of gcc will quite likely generate compilation errors (and make AMIDE unstable) if optimizations are used when compiling.
- GTK+:
The current series of AMIDE requires GTK+-2, at least version 2.16. I'm currently developing on a Fedora Core 24 system, although other distributions of Linux with equivalent library support should work.
Scrollkeeper is required for generating the help documentation. If you don't care about that, it's not needed.
- Additional libraries: libgnomecanvas libxml-2 libgnomeui-2 (not needed on win32)
These are various other libraries are needed for installation, most of which you will most likely already have installed if you have GTK+.
- (X)MedCon/libmdc
(X)MedCon includes a library (libmdc) which allows AMIDE to import the following formats; Acr/Nema 2.0, Analyze (SPM), Concorde microPET, DICOM 3.0, ECAT/Matrix 6/7, InterFile3.3 and Gif87a/89a.
(X)MedCon can be obtained from: http://xmedcon.sourceforge.net
- DCMTK - DICOM Toolkit
DCMTK provides expanded support for DICOM files, allowing the reading in of many clinical format DICOM datasets that (X)MedCon doesn't support. Version 3.6.0 is required. It can be downloaded at: http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en
- z_matrix_70/libecat
This library can be used as an alternative for importing ECAT 6/7 files, and is released under a fairly restrictive license. It can be found on the AMIDE sourceforge website, or at it's original site:
ftp://dormeur.topo.ucl.ac.be/pub/ecat/z_matrix_70/ecat.tar.gz
The source file off of amide.sourceforge.net is preferable, as it includes a Makefile which will make a shared library, and a small patch. Since the license for libecat is non-GPL compatible, you really should only link to it as a shared library. A README file is included with the tarball that explains how to configure/compile the library. RPM packages are also available off the AMIDE web site.
- volpack/libvolpack
Volpack includes a library (libvolpack) which is used for the optional volume rendering component of AMIDE.
The original version can be found at: http://graphics.stanford.edu/software/volpack/
The version available on the AMIDE web site is preferable, as it's been updated to compile cleanly under Linux. RPM packages are also available.
- ffmpeg (libavcodec) [alternatively libfame]
Another optional package, the ffmpeg library is used for generating MPEG-1 movies from series of rendered images and for generating fly-through movies.
Information, code, and binaries for ffmpeg can be found at; http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu
and Linux RPM binaries are available at: http://rpmfusion.org/
If for whatever reasons you do not want to use the ffmpeg package for generating MPEG-1 movies, there is still code in AMIDE for using the libfame package for doing this. Information, code, and binaries for libfame can be found at: http://fame.sourceforge.net
and Linux RPM binaries are available at: http://atrpms.net/name/libfame/
See Quick instructions for Linux above. After running autoreconf, you can also inspect the file INSTALL for info on compiling and installing. If you don't feel like reading that, try:
./configure
make
make install (as root)
If you're wondering about configuration options, a lot of information can be obtained by running:
./configure --help
The majority of the source code for AMIDE is structured as a library extension of GTK, called AMITK. Documentation for this library can be built using gtk-doc as follows:
./configure --enable-libdcmdata=no --enable-gtk-doc=yes
make
