[Insight-developers] Experience Adding Local ITK Module

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

It was quite easy. After I have set up an external module on github, all I had to do is the following to integrate it into an ITK build:

cd ITK
mkdir Modules/Local
git clone git at github.com:blowekamp/itkLocalDiscreteHessian.git Modules/Local/DiscreteHessian

cd ITKBuild
ccmake -D Module_ITK-DiscreteHessian:BOOL=ON 

Poof! Couldn't be easier! Well, it did take me a little bit to figure out the needed CMake option to turn on and where it was. If I were to put one feature request in it would be to automatically create a non-andvanced group option based on the created directory cmake configurations. 

Creating the module was very easy too just copied a few files and defined the appropriate variables for the module. Very nice!

The other thing I would like to figure out how to do is build ITK as an external project in my projects. I would like to be able to configure the modules and also add the needed "Local" or "External" modules from different repositories. 

This is looking very promising to me.

Brad
