[ITK Community] [Insight-users] Compile time issue SimpleITK-0.7.1.post1 in Visual Studio 2012

[Bradley Lowekamp]

One thing I just remembered. I think that if the CMAKE variable "CSHARP_PLATFORM" is anycpu it may cause the csharp compilation to take a very long time. It is set to x86 or x64 on the dashboard builds[1]. If your build is "cpuany" by default and changing it fixes your build time, I should make the default more intelligent.

More comments below.

Professional is more efficient.

Win64 requires more linking resources.

Use release. There are WAY too many ITK debugging symbols to be keep around! And the libraries end up being Over 1 GB. You much enable the SimpleITK libraries to be shared for this configuration, and that's more burdensome to use. Only compile SimpleITK if you need to debug SimpleITK or ITK.

As long as you are not trying to link 3+ wrapped languages at the same time you should be OK.

compilation of what? Any resource limits hit?

What do you plan on doing with the Mesh next? 
I don't think there is a readily available library in CSharp with that filter available. You will likely have to do some custom interfacing/wrapping of custom C++ code.
