+For the current build requirements please see our [http://docs.mitk.org/nightly/BuildInstructionsPage.html Build Instructions]. Besides, the [[Developer_Tutorial|Developer Tutorial]] could be helpful.
-'''Automatically build all requirements'''
-Note that with the ''MITK superbuild'', the only requirements on external packages are
-* [http://cmake.org CMake] 2.8.9 or later
-* [http://qt-project.org Qt] 4.7 or later (for application and widget support)
-All other required software packages will be downloaded and build automatically,
-depending on your MITK configuration.
-See the [http://docs.mitk.org/nightly-qt4/BuildInstructionsPage.html Build Instructions]
-for more information.
-For completeness, the sections below contain some hints how to build required external packages yourself.
-== Supported Platforms ==
-Please see [http://docs.mitk.org/nightly-qt4/SupportedPlatformsPage.html| Supported Platforms]
-There have been some experiments compiling MITK with gcc 4.4.0 on Windows using MinGW (see [[MinGW Instructions]] for details). However, please note that MinGW is not one of the officially supported platforms.
-=== MacOS ===
-[[MacOSX|Building MITK for MacOS]] contains a detailed description.
-== ITK Download ==
-We recommend to use the latest stable ITK 4.x version.
-* Since May 2011*: MITK needs at least [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdcm/ GDCM 2.0.14]. If the ITK version you are using is not bundled with this version, you need to build it yourself (uses also CMake) and toggle ITK_USE_SYSTEM_GDCM while configuring ITK.
-[http://itk.org/ITK/resources/software.html ITK-Download page]
-== VTK Download ==
-Currently, VTK version 6.x required.
-If you want to use Qt for application development, compile VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT (advanced CMake option), VTK_USE_QVTK and VTK_USE_QVTK_QTOPENGL turned ON.
-[http://vtk.org/VTK/resources/software.html VTK-Download page]
-== CMake Download ==
-MITK requires CMake 2.8.9 or later.
-[http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html CMake-Download page]
-Windows installer packages can be built using the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page Nullsoft scriptable install system].
-== GUI-Toolkits ==
-The core MITK library is GUI-toolkit independent.
-The MITK Workbench is implemented using Qt, requiring at least Qt 4.7. Qt5 is supported at the build system level but Qt-dependent MITK applications have not been ported to Qt5 yet.
-Qt can be downloaded [http://www.qt.io/download/ here].
-== OpenCV (optional) ==
-The Open Source Computer Vision library may be used for video playback/processing in MITK, but is completely optional! Currently, only OpenCV 2 is supported as it is built with CMake and therefore easily integrated in MITK. To use OpenCV in MITK, follow these steps:
-* Download OpenCV from their [http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/ Website] for your OS
-* You may compile OpenCV from source or use an installer. When building from source, there are no special options you have to set in CMake, just two things to remind:
-** On Windows: Turn off "ENABLE_OPENMP" when you have built MITK without OpenMP support. If you are unsure, turn it off
-** On Linux: As there were issues with AVI playback, make sure to use OpenCV with FFMPEG on Linux. [http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/FFMPEG Read here how to use FFMPEG with OpenCV]
-* General installation instructions: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/InstallGuide
-* (Re-)configure your MITK build: Open CMAKE and turn on MITK_USE_OPENCV. Next, let OpenCV_DIR point to the directory containing the OpenCVConfig.cmake file (should be found automatically if OpenCV was installed regularly)
-* Have a look into the module "OpenCVVideoSupport"
