This page contains additional information on how to compile vv statically. This requires recompiling qt, vtk, itk and vv.
Maybe you need to compile libjpeg (version 8 in our case) statically (http://www.ijg.org/) and install libjpeg8-devel
./configure --enable-static --prefix="[path]/libjpeg8/build"
make
make install
and set in .bashrc file:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[path]/libjpeg8/build/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
LD_RUN_PATH=[path]/libjpeg8/build/lib64:${LD_RUN_PATH}
With your package manager you need libpng-devel
Download and unzip the sources (recommended version Qt4.8.6).
../qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/configure -static -opensource -confirm-license -release -prefix [path]/Qt4/build -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-gtkstyle -system-libpng -system-libjpeg -system-zlib -no-icu -no-libtiff -no-libmng (-opengl -L/usr/X11R6/lib64)&& make && make install
Moreover, you may install all xcb dependecies (eg: with Yast).
- compiling in a separate directory than the sources (check shadow build),
With Windows, you have to use the version v4.8.6
Determine your PLATFORM, e.g. win32-msvc2013 for Microsoft Visual c++ 2013.
Open Visual C++ command prompt and execute:
set PATH=%cd%\bin;%PATH%
..\qt\configure -static -opensource -release -prefix %cd% -nomake examples -nomake tests & nmake
Download the sources (VTK > v6 / recommended version VTK6.3.0).
Run CMake and set (be sure that VTK_QT_VERSION is 4 and the links to the different Qt libraries are correct (i.e. the latter Qt5 libraries)).
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
BUILD_TESTING=OFF

Compile.
On Windows, Use CMake and Visual Studio:
- For 32bits: Use Visual Studio 2013 Compiler in Cmake
Download the sources (recommended version ITK4.9.1).
Run CMake and set: (with a correct link to the latter VTK).

Module_ITKVtkGlue=ON
Compile.
On Windows, Use CMake and Visual Studio:
- For 32bits: Use Visual Studio 2013 Compiler in Cmake
- With CMake, you can remove ITK_USE_GIT_PROTOCOL and ITK_USE_KWSTYLE
Download the sources.
On Linux, run CMake and set: (With the correct path to static ITK)
JPEG_INCLUDE_DIR=[...]/libjpeg8/build/include
JPEG_LIBRARY=[...]/libjpeg8/build/lib64/libjpeg.a
You can do strip ./vv to decrease the size of your executable.
On Windows, with Qt4, you just have to run CMake and compile with Visual Studio:
- For 32bits: Use Visual Studio 2013 Compiler in Cmake
- Be sure to parametrize Visual Studio with Release version
- On Visual Studio, into propertyManager: right click on vv / Properties / Linker / Command Line
