*This document is written under the assumption that you have FSL 6.1.0 or newer, installed via the fslinstaller script. These instructions will not work for manually managed FSL installations.*
This document describes how to set up a local development environment for compiling FSL C/C++ projects. It does **not** describe how to build conda packages for FSL projects - this is described in [building_fsl_conda_packages.md](`building_fsl_conda_packages.md`).

A standard FSL installation comes with the `Makefile` machinery required to compile FSL C/C++ projects. All that you need to add is a C/C++ compiler. You can use your operating system compiler if you wish, but be warned that doing so will potentially compile your code in a different way to how the official FSL conda packages have been compiled.
