[ITK] [ITK-users] Problem adding ITK to project

Thu Apr 23 10:42:32 EDT 2015

It took me a while to get back to this issue, but I was able to test my
theory that the problem was related to not building VTK with shared
libraries.

Short story, my hypothesis was incorrect, rebuilding VTK with Shared
Libraries turned on (and rebuilding ITK) did not solve the problem.  I
think I was using VTK 6.0.0.  I just upgraded to the latest version and
built VTK with static libraries, rebuilt ITK, and the problem went away.
 So, I'm not sure if it was a problem with the version of VTK I was
using, something set incorrectly in my VTK build, or something else.

Thanks for the responses to this issue . . .

Hi Kent,

Thanks for discussing this on the list. A restriction on static
libraries is not a known issue -- it would be interesting to get your
report on whether shared libraries help.

What version of ITK and VTK is this?

Thanks,
Matt
