[Insight-users] Compile error in itkMacro.h in class OStringStream

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Stefanie,

What you are confronting is a poor Makefile configuration.

Please use CMake in order to configure your Makefiles.

It will save you a lot of time and frustration.


Creating a CMakeLists.txt file is quite straight forward,
specially if you are already familiar with Makefiles.
The great advantage is that the same exact CMakeLists.txt
will be usable for any other platform.


Please make sure that you use a CMake that is native in
Cygwin.

You will find instructions on how to write CMakeLists.txt
file in the ITK Tutorials:

    http://www.itk.org/HTML/Tutorials.htm

an in the ITK Software Guide

    http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf


Please let us know if you encounter any problems while
writing the CMakeLists.txt file for your project.


    Thanks


       Luis
