Personal notes on the OFFIS DICOM-Software

Working with the OFFIS DICOM-Software I decided to put my notes down in a public readable way. Perhaps these pages are useful for somebody.

Compiling

dcmtk-352, -351, -350

IRIX 6.5 with or without zLib, libTIFF and openSSL
IRIX 6.2 and IRIX 6.5, with or without SSL support
Bernd collected all you might ever want to know about dcmtk on the Mac: The OFFIS Dicom Toolkit dcmtk 3.5.2 on MacOS X 10.2 (Darwin)
And here is a special for Mac lovers (DICOM, gzipped, ~7MB) tibook.dcm.gz

dcmtk-342

dcmtk-342 precompiled for MacOS X without SSL
as a compressed tar dcmtk342bin-MacOSX.tar.gz or binary by binary dcmtk342bin-MacOSX.
If somebody gets it to compile dcmtk with SSL, please tell us...

dcmtk-341

dcmtk-340

IRIX 6.2

Documentation

The FAQ says: All of the available DCMTK documentation is distributed in the DCMTK package. There is documentation about how to configure and run the programs. What is missing is documentation about how to use the libraries. Currently, the only way to learn how to use the libraries is to look at the example programs and do things the same way. Hopefully, some documentation will be written in the future and financial contributions would certainly reduce the waiting considerably.

This is certainly a weakness of DCMTK.... Here I collected all the information from the utility's text- and help-files in a single place to provide an overview. (smy20030312: updated to dcmtk-3.5.2)
