[Insight-developers] Using ITK with DCMTK

[Williams, Norman K]

You say "Please note that SimpleITK is a little weird on how it uses ITK."

This 'weird' sounds as though it is the problem.  What I used to test an
ITK install (and also setting ITK_DIR to ITK-build, i.e.
using a build tree) is below. This arrangement works.  The ${ITK_USE_FILE}

--------------------CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(tst)

find_package(ITK REQUIRED)
include(${ITK_USE_FILE})

add_executable(tst tst.cxx)target_link_libraries(tst ${ITK_LIBRARIES})

-------------------------tst.cxx
#include <itkImage.h>
#include <itkDCMTKImageIO.h>


int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
  itk::DataObject::Pointer ptr = A();
  itk::DCMTKImageIO::Pointer imageio = itk::DCMTKImageIO::New();
  exit(0);
}
