When building with CMake, don't forget to add
IF(WIN32)
SET(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX "D")
ENDIF(WIN32)
to the top-level CMakeLists.txt in order to append a 'D' to the debug versions of the library
http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/
Tobii /public/3rdparty/Tobii Library for Tobii eye tracker devices http://www.tobii.com
Mil /public/3rdparty/Mil Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) is a commercial high-level programming library for image capture, image processing, pattern recognition, registration, blob analysis, edge extraction and analysis, measurement, character recognition, 1D and 2D code reading, calibration, graphics, image compression, image display, and archiving. http://www.matrox.com/imaging/products/mil/
Cg /public/3rdparty/Cg NVIDIA's shader language http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cg_toolkit.html

Coin /public/3rdparty/Coin Open Source Open Inventor library http://www.coin3d.org/
Qt /public/3rdparty/Qt Qt is in our group primarily utilized to implement graphical user interfaces. Actually the library offers much more than that as e.g., general tools for cross-platform development and internationalization. http://www.qtsoftware.com/
Qwt /public/3rdparty/Qwt Qwt is an extension to the Qt GUI library from Troll Tech AS. The Qwt library contains widgets and components which are primarily useful for technical and scientifical purposes. It includes a 2-D plotting widget, different kinds of sliders, and much more. http://qwt.sf.net

xerces-c /public/3rdparty/xerces-c Xerces-C++ is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of C++. Xerces-C++ makes it easy to give your application the ability to read and write XML data. A shared library is provided for parsing, generating, manipulating, and validating XML documents using the DOM, SAX, and SAX2 APIs. For an introduction to programming with Xerces-C++ refer to the Programming Guide. Xerces-C is a huge memory leak. http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/
zlib /public/3rdparty/zlib zlib is a general purpose data compression library. All the code is
thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs

How to use 3rd party libraries

You can either directly copy the libraries from campdata.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:/home/public/3rdparty or, much better use rsync (http://www.cygwin.com provides it for instance) to receive them. rsync automatically checks, whether newer versions are available, so you do not need to copy the same library over and over. An example to receive the prebuilt Qt library via rsync (don't forget the dot at the end for your local directory):

rsync -avz --chmod ugo+rwx camplinux.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:/home/public/3rdparty[_vs9]/Qt .

You may have to add your username, i.e.
rsync -avz yourusername@camplinux.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:/home/public/3rdparty[_vs9]/Qt .
And don't forget to also select openssh, if you use the cygwin build of rsync.

The link in the second column works well for the Microsoft Internet Explorer. If somebody can find out, why it does not for Firefox it is highly appreciated. Answer: see LocalLink extension -- TobiasReichl - 26 Nov 2008
