I am very new to adding c/c++ library to iOS project. My requirement is to add DICOM toolkit (written in c/c++) to my swift ios project. I have spent two days with googling to find steps how to include and use it, but i could not find any such blogs that are using DICOM toolkit by Mergecom.

Can somebody help here..

Thanks.

There is nothing (apparent) special about the merge toolkit. Look at any tutorial about using C code/libraries.

Here is one;

Have you asked Merge for a sample app?

  • Thanks John for your reply. There is no support for iOS from Merge. They said use the c++ libraries. So i found another toolkit thats providing support for iOS with Objective C for DICOM related stuff called Leadtools. – Sankar Dheksit Nov 26 '15 at 05:55

I've done this. If you are working from the publicly available sources, you'll need to:

1 - make the DCMTK sources build their libraries for iOS using Xcode
2 - make a Objective-C bridging library, like iiDicom work on iOS
3 - create additional Objective-C bridging code to access DCMTK via Swift

To get DCMTK + iiDicom working under iOS, it will take about a month of off-and-on work to get both libraries ready for initial use with Xcode.
