[Insight-users] Problem building examples

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Rick,

The Examples are configured to be build as part of the same source tree
of the Toolkit.

The HelloWorld example in the Examples/Installation directory is
  the *only* example intended to be build from outside of the toolkit.

Please read the Tutorials

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


and the ITK Software Guide


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


You will find instruction on how to write or modify a CMakeLists.txt
file in order to make it find where you have built ITK.

It comes down to adding the following lines to the CMakeLists.txt file


               FIND_PACKAGE(ITK REQUIRED)
               IF(ITK_FOUND)
                  INCLUDE(${ITK_USE_FILE})
               ENDIF(ITK_FOUND)


Please *DO NOT* waste your time trying to include the many directories
of ITK in the little text boxes for include directories in the IDE of
Visual Studio. You should never need to modify the projects generated
by CMake. All changes should be made at the level of the CMakeLists.txt
file.


     Regards,



         Luis
