[ITK] Query about building ITK on Windows 64-bit with Python Wrapping

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

WrapITK has recently been upgraded to use CastXML ( clang based ), instead of GCCXML. This appears to now be working MS VS12 ( aka Visual Studio 2013?) windows compiler[1]. This is relatively new and it would be great if you can checkout ITK master and try to build it and report how it works for you. The wiki hasn't been updated with this latest bit of information.

However please keep in mind that WrapITK does not contain 100% of ITK and not 100% of Registration. For example it does contain the ITKv3 ImageRegistationMethod however it doest not contain the new ITKv4 ImageRegistration method or frame work. With effort this thing can be wrapped.

If you have to resort to SimpleITK, you will find the binaries for window64 readily available from the nightly dashboard[2]. The best place to check if SimpleITK has the registration methods you need would be the doxygen[3]. It contains the ITKv4 Registration framework, as well as some legacy image registration filter. The frame work is capable of affines, bspline, and displacement transforms and many nice feature of the ITKv4 framework.

Do you have a specific registration method you are looking to do? or just explore some options? 

Brad

However, looking around the internet, several sources (like the Wiki, this thread from about 5 months ago, or this site) seem to suggest building WrapITK isn't possible on a 64-bit machine due to conflict between GCCXML and any Visual Studio beyond 2008 (and VS2008 64-bit apparently only comes with the professional edition, which I'm not even sure is available or worth obtaining).  The Wiki also suggests mingw64 is also not viable.  Is this still the case?   Is there anyway to use ITK with python on a 64-bit machine?
