[Insight-users] Problems when building ITK based applications in a Visual C++6 environment

[Henry Joye]

Hi, all,

I am using ITK in an OpenInventor based project on
Windows Xp and build it in Visual C++ 6. I donot use
CMake in my project. In order to build the project, I
set the include path of ITK in Visual C++ 6 through
¡°Tools¡±-->¡±Options¡±-->¡±Directories¡±. Because
there is no separate specific folder of ¡°Include¡± in
ITK, I add ¡°\Insight\InsightToolkit18\Code\Common¡±,
¡°\Insight\InsightToolkit18\Code\Algorithms¡±, and ITK
binary folder ¡°ITKBin¡± into the include path
environment. When I build the project, the project ask
for the path of ¡°VCL¡±, I also add
¡°\INSIGHTTOOLKIT18\UTILITIES\VXL\VCL¡± into the
include path. After these steps, I begin to build the
project and receive following errors and warnings
(there are several this kind of warning for every ITK
related project file):

e:\insighttoolkit18\code\common\itkeventobject.h(134)
: warning C4541: 'dynamic_cast' used on polymorphic
type 'class itk::EventObject' with /GR-; unpredictable

e:\insighttoolkit18\utilities\vxl\vcl\vcl_compiler.h(134)
: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'vcl_config_manual.h': No such file or directory

My questions are:
1)	What causes these warnings and errors?
2)	How to build a ITK based project in Visual C++ 6
without using CMake?
3)	Is it possible to create a separate ¡°Include¡±
folder to be used during building applications?
4)	How to solve these problems?

Thanks in advance!

Joye
