[Insight-users] Tcl/ITK/VTK on the same project.

[Yang Wang]

Hi, Luis,

Thanks for your help.

However, as I try to run examples from ITK, I met several compiling 
errors and
executing errors.

Here is the steps I am taking for installing itk/vtk:
(1) I already have tcl/tk 8.46 ( in binary version, it this ok?) installed

(2) Use Cmake and VC6 to build ITK source code
        In the Cmake configuration:
            ----Disable:      BUILD_EXAMPLES, BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, 
BUILD_TESTING

(3) Use Cmake and VC6 to build VTK source code
        In the Cmake configuration:
            -----Disable:     BUILD_EXAMPLES, BUILD_SHARED
            -----Enable:      VTK_USE_HYBRID, VTK_USE_RENDERING, 
VTK_USE_PARALLEL, VTK_USE_PATENTED, VTK_USE_ANSI_STDLIB

(4) Use Cmake and VC6 to build CableSwig source code
       In the Cmake configuration, make no change, use the default values.

(5) Use Cmake and VC6 to build ITK_application source code
       In the Cmake configuration, make no change, use the default 
values. However, during the building process, several errors occurs and 
the build process stops.

I then look into the /ITK_application/SimpleLevelSetsExample,  and test 
the itk2DSimpleLevelSetsExample.exe with iteration number 10, 20, 100, 
then display the initial and final images by Matlab, it seems work right.

However, when I try to test the example in 
/ITK/Examples/Registration/ImageRegistration3.tcl,  it just pops up the 
warning message:
"can't find package InsightToolkit while executing "package.orig require 
InsightToolkit..."

It seems that itk and vtk are not correctly connected and not wrappring 
tcl right. Could you tell me what is wrong with this? And if possible,
could you kindly explain to me in detail how the building steps should 
go and what configurations should be set at each Cmake setup?

Sorry for the email to be so long.
Thank you very much and wait for your reply!

Yours,
Casper
