To build ITK using MinGW on Windows 7, follow these instructions.

Download from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download?source=files

or if there is a later version from the time that this page was written, download it from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/

  • Launch the CMake GUI by running 'cmake-gui'
  • Next to "Where is the source code:", click "Browse Source..." and navigate to where you cloned the repository with Git.
  • Next to "Where to build the binaries:", select "Browse Build..." and select a place to build the ITK library. I like to use c:\build\ITK. This directory should NOT be inside the directory where you cloned the repository.
  • Click "Configure", and then specify "Visual Studio 10" as the generator for this project.
  • Choose your build options. I like to UNCHECK BUILD_EXAMPLES and BUILD_TESTING as they speed up the build process significantly.
  • Click "Generate".
  • Open Visual Studio 2010
  • Open Project
  • Navigate to the Build directory you specified through CMake
  • Open the ALL_BUILD project
  • From the Build menu, choose "Build Solution" (or "Build ALL_BUILD")
