QT4=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3 
PATH=$QT4/bin:$PATH
QMAKESPEC=$QT4/mkspecs/linux-g++

• Please follow the rules to use different paths :

QT4=<QT_4.7.3_PATH>

sudo yum install gcc-c++
sudo yum install libXext-devel.x86_64
sudo yum install libXrender-devel.x86_64
sudo yum install libpng12-devel.x86_64

• Soft connection process after installation :

cd vaa3d_tools
ln -s ../v3d_external/v3d_main v3d_main
ln -s ../v3d_external/bin bin
cd ../v3d_external
ln -s ../vaa3d_tools/released_plugins released_plugins_more

• To avoid errors, it is recommended to make this modification:

• Change #include "v3d_core.h" to an absolute path inIPmain4NeuronAssemble.h.

• Change#include "tiffio.h"to an absolute path in stackutil.h.

• Open v3d_external file and run./build.linuxin Terminal.
