[Insight-developers] Error to compile ITK 3.8.0 on Cygwin platform

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Thomas,


GDCM uses the UUID library in order to generate unique identifiers.


CMake searches for the library at configuration time, and it if
finds it, it enables its use in


     Insight/Utilities/gdcm/CMakeLists.txt


It would seem that in your Cygwin configuration you have an
inconsistent combination of the UUID headers and libraries.

You may want to try modifying the line 18 of the file

     Insight/Utilities/gdcm/CMakeLists.txt

to disable the use of UUID,

or, verifying your Cygwin installation to make sure that
you have a consistent combination of the UUID header and
libraries.



     Regards,



         Luis
