[Insight-users] Makefile structure

[Karthik Krishnan]

Did you add your MySpatialObjectBlob.cxx (if you have a .cxx source) 
sources to the ITKSpatialObject library. If you did, it should get 
compiled and installed for you.

Or did you create your own library with it ? In that case, you will need 
to use CMake to install the target library and install the sources.

See for instance how its done for the SpatialObjects :
  
http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/SpatialObject/CMakeLists.txt?annotate=1.10&root=Insight

The lines 

  INSTALL_TARGETS(/lib/InsightToolkit ITKSpatialObject)
  INSTALL_FILES(/include/InsightToolkit/SpatialObject "(\\.h|\\.txx)$")

install the library and the sources.

There is no need to copy the .cxx files. The txx and .h files need to be 
copied. The cxx files are compiled into the library and the library 
needs to installed.
