I am a beginner about compiling from source, so I need your help!

As I need to execute gdcmdump on CentOS 7, I am trying to install gdcm.

First I tried to

git clone --branch release git://git.code.sf.net/p/gdcm/gdcm

but it failed. So I cloned the release by

git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/gdcm/gdcm gdcm-gdcm

and did

mkdir gdcmbin cd gdcmbin cmake ../gdcm make make install

without any errors.

But somehow I cannot execute gdcmdump. ("command not found" shown)

I also tried another option (I'm not sure it is actually right):

I downloaded GDCM-3.0.5-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz from https://github.com/malaterre/GDCM/releases/tag/v3.0.5 and unzipped it.

I found "bin", "include", "lib", "share" directories in it. But I have no idea how to handle these...

Any comments are appreciated!

make creates the executable locally, so if it's not in your $PATH, you'll have to provide a path to it. You could instead use make install (requires root permissions) to install it for all users.

  • Thank you for your comment! Oops, I'm sorry, I dropped it from my description. (I've edited my question above.) Actually I did "make install", but in vain. – nebuntu Mar 13 '20 at 11:48

Plain cmake .. will build "gdcm*Tests" only. See INSTALL.txt : GDCM_BUILD_APPLICATIONS: turn it on if you want the build gdcm applications (gdcmdump, gdcmconv, gdcminfo ...).

GDCM-3.0.5.tar.gz https://codeload.github.com/malaterre/GDCM/tar.gz/v3.0.5

tar xvf GDCM-3.0.5.tar.gz
cd GDCM-3.0.5/ && mkdir build && cd build/
cmake -DGDCM_BUILD_APPLICATIONS:BOOL=ON ..
make

The executable's gdcmanon, gdcmdiff, gdcmgendir, gdcminfo, gdcmraw, gdcmscu, gdcmxml, gdcmconv, gdcmdump, gdcmimg, gdcmpap3, gdcmscanner, gdcmtar are created in bin/

About "GDCM-3.0.5-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz" : $ cd GDCM-3.0.5-Linux-x86_64/bin/ && export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib/ && ./gdcmdump .... No issues.
