[Insight-users] Installation problem

[Xue, Dahai]

Hi Matt, 

Thank you for your quick response. I have issues when building ITK4.3. 

The error messages for ptrdiff_t is generated from the file
{ITK_source}\Modules\thridparty\VNL\src\vxl\vcl\vcl_cstddef.h. 
I checked the VS2008 and realize the 2 related types "size_t" and "ptrdiff_t" are available in the system. In the IDE, however, if I type std:: I can see that size_t and ptrdiff_t does not belong to std:: namespace. I therefore commented out the 2 lines where std::size_t and std::ptrdiff_t are defined, assuming the 2 types without std:: in front of them will work just fine. This eliminated all ptrdiff_t related errors. 

However, the compiler (output line 46 to 60 counted as pasted in Excel) has issues early on and complained that 
{ITK_source}\thirdparty\vnl\src\vxl\core\vnl\vnl_alloc.h(40): error C2653: 'std': is not a class or namespace name.
{ITK_source}\thirdparty\vnl\src\vxl\core\vnl\vnl_alloc.h(41): error C2653: 'std': is not a class or namespace name.
{ITK_source}\thirdparty\vnl\src\vxl\core\vnl\vnl_alloc.h(45): error C2653: 'std': is not a class or namespace name.
{ITK_source}\thirdparty\vnl\src\vxl\core\vnl\vnl_alloc.h(45): error C2653: 'std': is not a class or namespace name.
{ITK_source}\thirdparty\vnl\src\vxl\core\vnl\vnl_alloc.h(60): error C2653: 'std': is not a class or namespace name.
.
.
.
Opening this file I don't see anything like std. I suspect these errors are related to each other. 

The building went on and generated several dozens of lib files and stopped generating new files. It seems that it may have stopped when it hit the output line 1820, which stated that
itkvnl - 13 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Later errors stems from looking for itkvnl.lib, which it cannot find, and then similar issues for itkCommon.lib. 

Hope this makes sense to you. Is there any solutions for this? 
Thanks again. 
Dahai

Hi Dahai Xue,

std::ptrdiff_t is a member of the cstddef header:

  http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstddef/ptrdiff_t/

ITK 4.3.1 is building fine on VS 2008:

  http://open.cdash.org/index.php?project=Insight

Are the errors you are seeing when building ITK or an application that uses ITK?

Thanks,
Matt
