[Insight-users] Visual C++ 8 (express edition) compile error

[Kalle Pahajoki]

Hi

I've run into a problem compiling WrapITK with Visual C++ Express 
Edition 8.0, but the error as such is not in the WrapITK code, so I 
think it makes sense to post this here.

The log of the error is pasted below, but the gist of the issue seems to 
be that the function next_prime() in Code/Common/itk_hastable.h calls 
std::lower_bound, which is implemented in the 
InsightToolkit\bin\Vc8Ex\include\algorithm and assumes it is passed an 
iterator, while the next_prime() is passing it an unsigned long.

There seemed to be a mention on the list earlier, but no fix was 
suggested. I would like to hear if someone has a fix for this, or if 
someone could suggest whom to pester this further with.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
definition not smart enough to debug it.        -- Brian W. Kerninghan
