[Insight-users] WrapITK on Windows - how to include ExternalProjects?

[Sven Prevrhal]

(former thread RE: [Insight-users] Passing ITK objects from Python to C code
of a Python extension)

Gaëtan,

So I answered that question with yes for myself. However, I found that the
cmake for ItkVtkGlue has issues. The Tcl target will not build because it
cannot resolve the references to the Itk and Vtk methods. That is because
these libraries

itkSpatialObject.lib
itkBasicFilters.lib
itkCommon.lib
vtkFiltering.lib
vtkImaging.lib

are not specified as input! So then I fixed that and recompiled. Works fine
now. However, the deprecation warning 

>>> import itk
>>> import itkvtk
Warning: ItkVtkGlue classes are available in itk module, without importing
itkvt
k.
Warning: itkvtk is no more supported and will be removed soon.
>>> import vtk
>>> reader = itk.ImageFileReader.IUC3.New()
>>> converter = itk.ImageToVTKImageFilter.IUC3.New(reader)
>>> converter.GetOutput()
<vtkFilteringPython.vtkImageData vtkobject at 00A7A278>
>>>

is weird because these lines (taken from your WrapITK description published
in the Insight Journal) do _not_ work without importing itkvtk.

Any advice? Did I make some huge mistake?
 
Thanks,
Sven

it works for sure with visual studio express 2005
