[Insight-users] MacOSX build with testing

[William A. Hoffman]

There is a problem with the Mac OSX tool chain that prevents shared libraries from working.  Fortunately, the Mac folks have fixed the problem.  You have to update xcode, the compiler and as much stuff as possible, and it will work again, after you start from a clean build.

Unfortunately, I do not know what versions work/don't work, or which thing that we updated that fixed, but it does work.  See the midworld dashboard of ITK for proof.

Here are a few versions of things here: 

gcc -v                                                                 ~
