[IGSTK-Users] Problems with building IGSTK

[Ziv Yaniv]

Dear Simon,

IGSTK currently does not support ITK v-4. You will need to use ITK v 
3.20.  We are currently working on a new release of IGSTK which will fix 
some bugs, and add several additional tracking devices. Due out in the 
next couple of weeks. Once that is done we will start work on porting 
IGSTK to ITK v-4.

The reason we do not work with shared libraries is for safety reasons.  
You cannot be sure that the libraries on your computer are the same as 
the ones the program was compiled and tested with.

As IGSTK is open source you can obviously change everything and get it 
to use shared libraries.

                     regards
                             Ziv
