[Insight-users] compilation problem and solution

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Yannick,


There are no files with extension .c in

  /InsightToolkit-1.6.0/Utilities/vxl/core/vnl/Templates/

You are probably being a victim of a truncation of the
file name that results in the elimination of the two
last characters "xx" from the extension ".cxx"

Please verify that you are using a decent tar utility.

Note that the tar tool distributed by SUN is buggy and
does not conforms to the checksum standards of other
tar tools, including the gnu tar that was used for
creating the ITK tar.gz files.

For details please look at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/tar_127.html

It is ok for CMake to invoke the C compiler for files
with extension ".c". In your case, what happens is that
the filename has been mofidied during the process of
extracting the source files into your system.



Regards,



     Luis
