[Insight-users] Re: ITK/VTK question : SUN Compiler

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Brian,

I'm afraid that the only compiler that we are supporting in
the Sun workstations is GCC.  We will be receving a new Sun
workstation in a couple of weeks and may use it to try the
new version of their compiler. However it may take a couple
of months before the code gets adapted to a new compiler,
(assuming that it is possible at all...)

Something that you can do is to package ITK pipelines inside
C-language functions. Build them with GCC and invoke them
from your project built with the Sun native compiler.
This is equivalent to creating plugins.

You may find interesting to look at the Tutorials

      http://www.itk.org/HTML/Tutorials.htm

In particular to

http://www.itk.org/CourseWare/Training/GettingStarted-V.pdf

Where you will find details on how to package ITK pipelines
in inside C functions to be called from your application.



    Regards,


       Luis
