[Insight-users] Re: getting started

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Gregg,

Building the binaries of ITK in your Windows Desktop
may not be a wise idea.

I would strongly suggest you to better organize your
system, and create a directory for binaries, then
create an ITK directory underneath.

A common organization would follow the Unix model:


            greghara/src/
            greghara/src/Insight
            greghara/bin/
            greghara/bin/Insight

Since you are starting from scratch you may want to
update right away to CMake 2.2.3, that you can download
from:

        http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html


Exactly what compiler do you have installed in your system ?


Please let us know,


    Thanks


      Luis
