Compilers
This page contains information and tips on using compilers and build systems with ITK.
General Tips
Build systems
- Always use CMake with ITK. CMake has generators for most major build systems. Attempting to, for example, use Visual Studio directly without CMake will make things much more difficult than they need to be.
- ITK does not distribute binaries on purpose. An open source software development system has numerous advantages; one advantage is avoiding problems related building, distributing, and linking binaries. Have your build system build ITK from source on the the same platform and with the same compiler to also avoid these problems. Git submodules and the CMake ExternalProject system can help to do this.
- For a list of supported compilers, see the supported compilers Wiki page.
