Installation woes #122

The minc repository explicitly states that it is obsolete, replaced by this minc-tools and libminc. While libminc successfully installs, it fails to install many of the headers required by these tools. For example, it installs minc2.h while some tools require minc.h. While minc..h is included (but not installed in this library), files required by minc.h such as netcdf.h are not provided in this modern library. It would be great to have some explicit instutions for installing - is the obsolete library still required by some tools that are still transitioning? Can the obsolete tools co-exist with these new ones? A simple installation, or a docker image that aids installation would help development with these core libraries and tools.

minc.h is MINC1 API, which requires NetCDF ( LIBMINC_MINC1_SUPPORT option in CMAKE), minc2.h - MINC2 which requires HDF5.
Here is a docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/nistmni/minc-toolkit

P.S. my boss told me that I am not to provide any further support for MINC tools in my work time, because officially lack of funding.
