[ITK-users] ITK 4.8 build problem

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Tim,

Yes, the way to set this not very obvious.

For cmake-gui, before the initial run, click the "+ Add Entry" button.

For ccmake, pass entries on the command as would be done with cmake
with the "-D" flag, e.g.,

  ccmake "-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=-stdlib=libstdc++" ~/src/ITK

HTH,
Matt
