Self-contained "super" builds  |  Platform builds  |  Documentation  |  Code  |  Previous versions

• Full OME Files documentation is available here.

• Documentation for the native OME Files C++ interface is available to read on the web starting here.

• Standalone "super" builds are self-contained, providing all the libraries required and so are to some extent independent of the platform they run on. For long-term support releases such as CentOS, this means that newer versions of the libraries than provided by the platform are included, which includes bugfixes and features which would otherwise be missing (such as BigTIFF support). For rolling-release platforms (BSD ports, MacOS X homebrew), this means that the build will not break when the underlying platform changes, for example by updating the versions of the libraries we require to an incompatible version.

• The downside to the convenience of the "super" build is that system libraries you might want to link into your application may depend upon different versions of the libraries than provided here, which will make linking applications using such libraries difficult. In all cases you should be able to build from source to work on operating systems which meet the requirements. This will ensure your build is compatible with the libraries available on the system.

• Platform builds are built against a specific platform release and therefore should always work with the shared libraries provided by the platform. These releases are provided only for platforms with guaranteed ABI stability during their supported lifetime, and which also provide all of the needed build dependencies.
