[Insight-users] including the txx files as part of the ITK project

[Elena Pavlovskaia]

Hi Mark,

I like having all the files that I am working on listed in my project.
Below I put an example on how I make it happen.

I have MyProject.dsw with sub projects My1.dsp, My2.dsp, etc.

The My1.dsp uses MyCode.h, MyCode.txx, and MyCode.cpp.

Here is a fragment from CMakeLists.txt correspondent to My1.dsp:


#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  My1 project:


SET (My1DLL
  My1
  )


ADD_LIBRARY(${My1DLL}  MODULE
MyCode.h
MyCode.txx
MyCode.cxx
)

INSTALL_TARGETS(/lib ${My1DLL})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( ${My1DLL} ITKIO ITKCommon
ITKBasicFilters
)

#  --------------------End of My1 project --------------------------------

===========================================
Mark,

Just to add onto this, set the highlighting on, but don't set VS to 
directly compile the txx files (it doesn't by default).  You run the 
possibility of generating a whole bunch of Multiple instantiation (or 
something along those lines) errors.  I made that mistake originally.

Cheers,
Dan
