[Insight-developers] SimpleITK dashboard

Dan,

Thanks for your work in getting C# to automatically build and test with SimpleITK. We have accomplished a lot getting as far as we have.

To address the difficulties of getting a stable version of ITK with simpleITK we have begun migrating to a SuperBuild system. One benefit of this is that it enables us to specify a specific version of ITK to build, and then build SimpleITK against. That version is specified in ITK_TAG_COMMAND variable in the file here:

https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/SuperBuild/External_ITKv4.cmake

to use the superbuild cmake just point cmake to "SimpleITK/SuperBuild" and configure. That being said, there are still some major changes that are pending with the super build system, that should make it more configurable from the top level. Currently, you need to run the super build cmake, build, then rerun cmake on the SimpleITK-build sub-directory, to configure SimpleITK as one wishes. This does currently simplify, the problem of which version of ITK should I use.

The min5.nlm system, ( non-super ) is build against the nightly ITK, which needs a pending patch to get it to compile again.

Dan Blezek is in change of the mayo machines.

There are a few failing tests for the C#, they all appear to have a similar problem:

http://www.cdash.org/CDash/testDetails.php?test=105562409&build=1367178

My guess is there is some type issue with the code generated for certain array types for the tests. Have you been able to reproduce these? I very much would like to merge this topic into master tomorrow, and it would just be awesome if there were no related failing tests.

Thanks,
Brad
