[Insight-developers] [ITK Community] [Insight-users] [Insight-Developers] Problem with trivial filter (no inputs and outputs)

[Matt McCormick]

HI Alessio,

Thanks for the response.  All the .cxx source files need to be built
into the executable (header's don't necessarily need to be specified
-- they get pulled in by the "#include" lines).  So,

 ADD_EXECUTABLE ( TrainingFilter TrainingFilter.cxx main.cxx )

Hope this helps,
Matt
