the libs within DICOM ToolKit (DCMTK)

[Patric]

I want to know whether the libs within DICOM ToolKit (DCMTK) are independent with each other. For example, I am not intersted in network function, thus I will not include this library with my program.

thanks,

Patric

Hi Patric,

there are the following dependencies:

config - (no module dependencies)
ofstd - config
dcmdata - ofstd
dcmimgle - dcmdata [zlib, xml]
dcmimage - dcmimgle [tiff, png]
dcmjpeg - dcmimage [ijg]
dcmsr - dcmdata [xml]
dcmsign - dcmdata [openssl]
dcmtls - dcmdata [openssl]
dcmnet - dcmtls [libwrap]
dcmpstat - dcmimage, dcmsr, dcmsign, dcmqrdb
dcmqrdb - dcmnet
dcmwlm - dcmnet

Of course the dependencies are recursive, e. g. dcmdata depends on config, too. The libraries in brackets are not part of the DCMTK but can be (sometimes optionally) linked to the corresponding modules.

As you might see, all of the modules depend on ofstd and dcmdata at the end, so you'll need these two most of the time. dcmnet is needed only by modules with some kind of network support.

I just noticed, that there is also an entry in the FAQ:
