[Insight-users] Re: Configuring the HelloWorld example: I still can’t solve my problem till now! :

[Luis Ibanez]

HI Zheng,


It seems that you haven't built ITK itself.


You have to build ITK before attemting to use any of the examples.
In order to build ITK, run CMake  and provide as source directory

  E:\\zhengyuanjie\\InsightToolkit-1.2.0\\InsightToolkit-1.2.0

not

E:\\zhengyuanjie\\InsightToolkit-1.2.0\\InsightToolkit-1.2.0\\Examples\\Installation

Then as binary directory for building ITK, provide

   E:\\zhengyuanjie\\InsightBin

After running CMake you will find a file "ITK.dsw" in the directory

   E:\\zhengyuanjie\\InsightBin

Open this ITK.dsw file with VisualStudio 6 and "build"

This should generate libraries and executables in the directory

   E:\\zhengyuanjie\\InsightBin\\bin

under subdirectories "Release" or "Debug" depending on the
compilation mode that you used.


When the build is done (it would take about 40 minutes) you
can now use the ITK libraries  for building the HelloWorld example.

In order to build this example please do the following

Run CMakeSetup again, provide as source directory

E:\\zhengyuanjie\\InsightToolkit-1.2.0\\InsightToolkit-1.2.0\\Examples\\Installation

and as binary directory

E:\\zhengyuanjie\\ItkExample

CMake will ask you where did you build ITK, that is

 “the binary directory where you built ITK”.

You must provide this information in the variable ITK_DIR,
in your case you should give the directory

   E:\\zhengyuanjie\\InsightBin

With this, CMake should be able to configure the example and
generate a file HelloWorld.dsw in the directory

E:\\zhengyuanjie\\ItkExample

Open this dsw file with VisualStudio and build

That will generate the executable for the example.

However I can’t finish the configuration , because CMake told me that it couldn’t find ITK. I don’t know what it means. I think it perhaps means the strategy for finding ITK fails, but I don’t know how to correct my operations. I am sure that the source and binary directories have been correctly placed.  Would you please explain it for me?
