[Insight-users] If I want to show my program in other computer ?

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Zien,

You are almost there...

The MSVCP60D.dll is the Debug library from Visual Studio,
this library is only available in machines that have
Visual studio installed.


At this point you have two options:


1) Recompile your program for Release
    (that will require to recompile ITK for Release too).


    OR


2) Copy the MSVCP60D.dll *along* with the executable
    of your program and keep them together in the same
    directory.


   If you are in a hurry,
      then option #2 is the easy way out.

   If you need a permanent solution,
      then you should rather take option #1.



Your program will run a lot faster in Release mode
anyways, so, if this is a demo, then you may want to
go for that extra speed.


In some ITK filters, the difference may be up to 10X
faster compiled for Release than for Debug.  The reason
is that most of the inlining for which ITK has been
designed, is only done when compiling for Release.


Beware that programs may behave different in Debug and
Release mode. Again, if this is a demo, and you rebuild
it for Release, make sure that you play with it in
advance, and make sure that everything works as you
expected.

There are nasty bugs that only show up in Release mode...
(they exist with the only purpose of driving developers
crazy...).



   Regards,


      Luis
