| MRIcron source code

Introduction

MRIcron is written in Pascal, and can be compiled using Borland's Delphi or the open source Lazarus (Freepascal) software. MRIcron is open source, using the BSD license. Lazarus offers several advantages - it is free, comes complete with all the components required by MRIcron, and offers the potential to easily create native binary code for Windows, Linux, and OSX. However, Lazarus is still beta software.

1. Install the compiler. To compile this software, you will need a build of Lazarus created on or after May 1, 2006. This software requires some recent patches that are not available on the current stable release. To get the latest developmental snapshot of Lazarus, click here. There are still a few features that do not work correctly on the Lazarus versions of MRIcron. These are described here.
2. Get the source code. The source code is available here. The source file includes sample images in the Templates and Example folders. To test this software, compile mricron.lpr. Next use the File/templates menu to open sample images. Alternatively, after compiling the software, you can click on the included .bat files to see sample renderings.
3. The Lazarus version of this software still has a few bugs. For more details, click here.
