[Insight-users] problem in debugging ITK

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi John,

If you definitely can't use CMake to configure your project,
then the best next thing to do is the following:

1) Write a minimal example that uses ITK,
     as described in the Tutorial:
     http://www.itk.org/ITK/help/tutorials.html
     more specifically at:
     http://www.itk.org/CourseWare/Training/GettingStarted-I.pdf

     the key part is to write a CMakeLists.txt file
     that has

       FIND_PACKAGE(ITK  REQUIRED)
       INCLUDE(${ITK_USE_FILE})

2) Use CMake to generate the Visual Studio solution
    file for that minimal project

3) Open this minimal project with Visual Studio,
    and COPY the header settings and library
    settings from it into your own project that
    doesn't use CMake. (That will mostly be done
    by copy/pasting through the clipboard).


In this way, you still benefit from CMake finding
all the right settings for ITK, without you having
to discover them manually one by one.


     Luis
