[Insight-users] how to Include itk library in QT Desainer: Use Flat ITK Installation

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi  Sutrisno,


When you install ITK, it doesn't install by default all the
header files in a single directory.

Therefore passing only the directory

               /usr/local/include/InsightToolkit

to your linker is not enough.


You need to pass all the subdirectories of that directory as well.

There are two options for making this process easier:



  A) Configure your Eclipse application with CMake,   or
  B) Install ITK using the "Flat" option


Option (A) is self-explanatory, so let me just describe a bit
the process for Option (B):


What you should do is to reconfigure your ITK build with
CMake and turn ON the option:

                 ITK_USE_FLAT_DIRECTORY_INSTALL

Then, do

                                   make install


Once you do this, ITK will install its headers in a smaller set
of subdirectories (still is not a single directory, but at least
they will be a smaller set).

At that point, in your application that uses ITK you MUST add
the -I options for ALL the sub directories that you will see in
the InsightToolkit/include directory.



      Regards,


              Luis
