[Insight-users] Itk 3.6 weird compile problem

[J.S.Wijnhout at lumc.nl]

After some more trying I found out that the error is related to the
cstddef file in Utilities/itksys. This file is included when an STL
header is included. It turned out that I did not have the
Utilities/itksys/ios and Utilities/itksys/stl folders in my included
path and consequently the wrong STL headers were picked. However the
code still doesn't compile, after including these folders

I got errors like:

e:\Projects\Test\Itk3\include\Common\itkMacro.h(524) : error C2653:
'std' : is not a class or namespace name

e:\Projects\Test\Itk3\include\Common\itkMacro.h(525) : error C2504:
'ostringstream' : base class undefined

So, it's getting worse. I finally decided not to include any itksys
folders and finally my code compiled.

 

Although happy that my code is compiling again, I'm a bit worried: Am I
supposed to use itksys, or not? Should I also refrain from linking to
the itksys lib? Can I expect portability issues (assuming that this was
the underlying reason for creating itksys)? And finally, why wasn't this
an issue with ITK 3.4? 

 

best,

Jeroen  

 

P.S.: I forgot to mention that I'm not using CMake to compile my own
projects.

Hi,

 

I downloaded ITK 3.6 this morning (before the official announcement
btw.) and I'm having some troubles compiling the most basic program:

#include <itkPoint.h>

 

int main ( int, char ** )

{

  return 0;

}

 

 

I get the following errors (I've only printed the firs three):

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\include\xutility(111) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';'
before identifier 'difference_type'

        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\include\xutility(115) : see reference to class template
instantiation 'std::iterator_traits<_Ty*>' being compiled

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\include\xutility(111) : error C2501:
'std::iterator_traits<_Ty*>::difference_type' : missing storage-class or
type specifiers

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\include\xutility(122) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';'
before identifier 'difference_type'

 

I did not change anything in my compiler settings, although it seems
related to that, errors in the STL headers mostly are. Still I can't
seem to figure out what it wrong. For what it is worth, I can still
compile code that does not use ITK. I'm using Visual Studio 2003 SP1.
Any pointers are most welcome.

 

best,

Jeroen
