[Insight-users] Re: Python Wrapping problems

[Bill Hoffman]

OK, looks like we can not fix this one.  I do however have a work around.
The problem is that the windows 98 Visual Studio can not handle custom 
commands that are longer than 512 bytes.  The cswig command lines get
longer than that in ITK.  This is not a problem on windows NT/2000/XP, 
only 98/ME.   However, nmake on windows 98 can support the longer command lines.
So, if you build ITK with nmake and not the IDE it will work.   

However, in trying that I found a bug in CMake 1.6.7 that did not allow CableSwig 
to be built with nmake.   So, you have some options:

1. use cvs cmake and use the nmake makefiles for building ITK with CableSwig
in the Utilities directory.

2. use cmake 1.6.7 and build CableSwig outside of ITK.  Use the IDE
visual studio generator for building CableSwig.  Then configure an
ITK that does not contain CableSwig in the Utility directory to use
the CableSwig you have built.  Use nmake as a generator for cmake when
building ITK.

3. wait for cmake 1.8 and use nmake files (same as 1.)

4. upgrade your OS to windows 2000 or xp.
