| 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. You will need Lazarus version 0.9.24 or later. This software requires some recent patches that are not available on the current stable release.
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 (see the included readme.txt for more information, especially for OSX compilation).
