[ITK-dev] Function-style preprocessor definitions

[Johnson, Hans J]

I too have been fighting with this problem for several days.  I can not seem to track it down.

in a file called flags.make, there is a line:

CXX_DEFINES = -D) -DITK_IOFACTORY_REGISTERMANGER ….< other stuff>

This happens when building agains VTK and ITK, but with ITK I have VTKGlue turned off.

It has been very hard to track down.  I don’t understand where the “CXX_DEFINES” are being set.


Additonally, a related error message shows up during configuration:

WARNING:  Function-style preprocessor definitions may not be passed on the compiler command line because many compilers do not support it.
CMake is dropping a preprocessor definiton: (
Consider defining the macro in a (configured) header file.


I have been trying to figure out what is going on for almost a day now.
