[Insight-developers] Long CMake configuration time on Windows?

[Cory Quammen]

Hi all,

Yesterday I configured ITK from the latest git master with CMake on
Windows 7 with Visual Studio 9 as the compiler.

The initial configuration step in CMake took over an hour! Each of the
tests for the existence of headers and type size checks take about 10
seconds to run, and there are many such tests.

Is anyone else seeing this, or is my system particularly slow? I have
a new laptop with a quad core i7. On the same laptop running Ubuntu in
a VirtualBox VM with a Windows 7 host system, configuration takes a
minute or two at most.

Thanks,
Cory
