[Insight-developers] [ITK Community] [Insight-users] [Insight-Developers] Problem with trivial filter (no inputs and outputs)

Hi Alessio,

It looks like your making good progress.

The next step is to inherit from ProcessObject instead of Object to
get the filter pipeline functionality (which may be important
depending on the application).

Regarding the linking error, what does the CMakeLists.txt look like?
Is the file TrainingFilter.cxx (where itk::TrainingFilter::Update() is
defined) built into the executable?

Thanks,
Matt
