[Insight-users] SimpleITK cannot build

[Lisa Dean]

Hi,

Thanks for replying Dan,Brad.

*CMake version is 2.8.10 *
*SimpleITK version is 0.5.1*
*ITK version is 4.2.1*
*The compiler I'm using is Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop.*

No, as a matter of fact I hadn't tried the binary version. I've decided to
try that now.

Are you required to use C# for your GUI? If not, you may consider using
either native ITK or SimpleITK with any number of graphical user
frameworks, like QT for instance.
I could go with C# or C++ but so far in my experience C# seems to be easier
of the two to build GUIs with, which is why I was fixated on it.

Besides, SimpleITK, the only other option is to encapsulate native ITK
(C++) in a DLL and use the P/Invoke functionality to access from a
.NET application.
This is actually my preferred method, as I am comfortable using native ITK
and C++, and it gives me maximum flexibility. SimpleITK is much easier but
less flexible.
I'm no hardcore programmer and for all I understood from that it could have
been Greek or Latin. I've absolutely no idea how to go about doing that
unless I were to get explicit instructions directing every step. Like I
said before the only reason I decided to go along with C# is because I
definitely need a UI and C# is easier for that but I'm more comfortable
with C++ and if there's a way.......

I'm not sure I know what a SuperBuild is either.


Thanks a lot once a again :)

Lisa
