[ITK-dev] SimpleITK build failure on Fedora 23

[Dmitry Mikhirev]

Hello!

I'm trying to build SimpleITK package for Fedora. Unfortunately I'm
unfamiliar with swig, and I need help in fixing build issue. I'm
compiling SimpleITK 0.9.1 against Fedora's InsightToolkit 4.8.2 that is
built with ITKv3 compatibility enabled.

Here is the error message:

[ 47%] Building CXX object Code/BasicFilters/src/CMakeFiles/SimpleITKBasicFilters6.dir/sitkHistogramMatchingImageFilter.cxx.o

   bool IncreaseFrequency(const IndexType & index,
        ^

The corresponding piese of code in itkHistogram.h is:

#ifdef ITKV3_COMPATIBILITY
  //In ITKv4 the member functions are given unique names to dis-ambiguate
  //the intended behavior.  Make aliases of the overloaded calls
  //for ITKv3 backwards compatibility.
  bool IncreaseFrequency(const IndexType & index,
                                 AbsoluteFrequencyType value)
    {
    return IncreaseFrequencyOfIndex(index,value);
    }

  bool IncreaseFrequency(
         const MeasurementVectorType & measurement,
         AbsoluteFrequencyType value)
    {
    return IncreaseFrequencyOfMeasurement(measurement,value);
    }

#endif

It is obvious that this error wouldn't occur if InsightToolkit was
compiled without ITKv3 support, but I have to use Fedora's package. Is
it possible to fix this issue with some simple patch or even
configuration option for SimpleITK?

Thank you!
