<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone actually built ITK and/or VTK using
Visual Studio Express?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This has been a most frustrating few days and I
have run out of time, so all help is appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Most of the problems seem to be associated with
building Cable Swig and Python Wrappers. As the full build takes too
much time, I have limited myself to just building cable swig for now. Here
is my set up:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OS: Windows XP
SP2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CMake: 2.2.2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CableS: 2.2 (also CVS version
both have same issues)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ITK:
2.2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Python: 2.4</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ Express (aka Visual
Studio 8 Express)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Additional Notes: VC Express lacks some
critical header and lib files. After consulting the related docs on MSDN,
I added the bin-lib-include files from the latest PlatformSDK to VC8E.
This solved some problems (like lack windows.h file) but many issues
remain. I also have Mingw and Cygwin installed (not actively in the
path). Seeing how most of the problems are with gcc and gccxml branch of
Cable, I added the Mingw bin-lib-include files to be used *after* the MS
files...no change that I could notice. I actually have a working
Mingw/MSYS development environment (which includes the standard gcc, g++,
gccxml, etc), so if there is a way to get ITK built with that while still being
able to use the VC8E for my own ITK/VTK programs, I will listen.</FONT></DIV>
