Luis-

I replied to Bill's email to see if he can help me work through this.  I am
wondering what happened to the original poster of this thread.  He was
getting the exact same errors as I am getting, I wonder if he somehow worked
it out.  He just sort of disappeared and I hijacked his thread.




Hi URI,

Please see comments interleaved with you email below.

This means that you don't have cmake installed in MinGW.
(and that's fine).

The directory "cmakesrc" was referring to the directory where you
expand the source code of CMake. This was under the assumption
that you went to the CMake web site and downloaded the source
code of CMake, in the form of a .zip file, or a .tar.gz file, or through
a CVS checkout. There is, of course, no directory with the exact
name "cmakesrc", we are simply referring to where you decompressed
the source code.

You would have to do this through the MinGW installation....
but
it may not be a good way to proceed in your case.

Note that Bill Loresen has reported that (contrary to what I thought),
you can indeed use the Windows CMake in order to configure
ITK for MinGW.  Have you the email that he posted to you in
the ITK users mailing list ?

Well, it all depends on what your final purpose is...

but you can certainly use any of the following:

* Visual Studio 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, 8.0, 9.0
* Borland 5.5
* Intel Compiler
* and Gcc from Cygwin or MinGW


For all these compilers we have Nightly builds
in the Dashboard:

Please reply to Bill's email in the mailing list
and provide detailed information on what
Generator you are using when running
the Windows CMake.



       Thanks


           Luis
