[Insight-developers] Broken dashboard -- More info

[Hans Johnson]

Gordon,

The errors were not really due to NrrdIO, but rather the compiler
dependancies relating to NrrdIO.  The new version of NrrdIO.h no longer
has airExists_d (and by extension itk_airExists_d).  The previously
built itk IO wrapper (itkNrrdIO.h, itkNrrdIO.cxx, etc --> itkNrrdIO.o)
object files were originally built against a version of NrrdIO/NrrdIO.h
that did declare and define itk_airExists_d.  After the upgrade of
NrrdIO/NrrdIO.h, this should a triggered a rebuild of itkNrrdIO.o and a
recreation of libitkIO.a.  The failure occurred in that the compiler
dependancies did not trigger a rebuild of the object files, which did
not trigger a rebuild of the libitkIO.a libraries, and when the final
executables that depend on libitkIO.a and libNrrdIO.a were linked, the
linking of the final executables failed due to the missing
itk_airExists_d function found the now outdated libitkIO.a.
