[Insight-users] problem building insight application

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Tejas,

The file

             'fltkVTKImageViewerGUI.h'

is generated by FLTK-fluid under CMake control. It will
be located in the Binary directory where you built

    InsightApplications/Auxiliary/FltkImageViewer.

The fact is that the GeodesicActiveContours (and many other
FLTK applications in InsightApplications) is depending on
this FltkImageViewer library.  You will have to decide if
you build this library on your own, and indicate to your
project where the headers and the library are located,
or you could simply copy all those files into your project
and get a monolitic application.

It all depends on who far do you plan to go with it.

For example,

A) If you just want to play with this application, you better
    use it inside the source tree of InsightApplication, and
    compile the whole set of applications. This is already
    configured to be easy to build.

B) If you want to experiment with it as a prototype of an
    ITK + FLTK application, you better extract the FltkImageViewer
    project too and use it for generating a library. Then
    link your app to this library.

C) If you want to go really far with this code, you are
    better of using VTK for visualizing the images. In that
    case you may want to use the vtkFlRenderWindowInterator
    class available in


        InsightApplications/Auxiliary/VtkFltk.


I would suggest you to start with (A), that is, do not
move the project out of the InsightApplications tree, just
build all the applications from the top.


Regards,


    Luis
