Pre-Built Libraries for Voreen 5


The GDCM module, HDF5 module, as well as the ITK module depend on external libraries. When building Voreen from source, you will need the corresponding libraries to build those modules.


On Linux you can use the package manager to get these libraries (see Linux build instructions).


On Windows we provide these libraries for download. The unzipped version has to be copied into the corresponding "ext" subfolder of the corresponding module. For instance you need to copy GDCM to "voreen/modules/gdcm/ext/" for building the GDCM module.

We provide versions for Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017. All versions are included in each download. If you only require a specific version and want to save storage space, you can navigate to the "lib" subfolder and remove the Visual Studio versions that you do not require by deleting the corresponding subfolders.

Note: For Visual Studio 2017, Microsoft has changed its update policy by implementing a rolling release model. Although we provide pre-built libraries for Visual Studio 2017, we cannot guarantee that these will always be up-to-date for the current Visual Studio 2017 release. In case you experience problems with the pre-built libraries during the build process, you might thus need to build the libraries by yourself for your particular Visual Studio version.
