[Insight-users] Build ITK 3.14.0 under Win XP x64 and Visual Studio 2008

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the additional information.

A) Those other projects that you have build,
    where they C++ projects ?

B) Where they configured with CMake ?

C) Do you have other versions of Visual Studio installed ?



---


Something is going wrong during the configuration of VXL.

The errors of type:

 >> 
("10>D:\libs\ITK\x64\InsightToolkit-3.14.0\Utilities\vxl\core\vnl/vnl_matlab_header.h(16) 

 >>
 >>     : error C2182: 'type' : illegal use of type 'void'


indicate that the type:


        vxl_int_32

is being declared as a typedef for "void".

This is done in the vxl_config.h file that is generated from
the source file:


    Insight/Utilities/vxl/core/vxl_config.h.in


and results in a file in the binary directory:


    InsightBin/Utilities/vxl/core/vxl_config.h


Please open that file (vxl_config.h) in the binary directory
of ITK and look at the declaration of vxl_int_32


In a normal system you will find lines such as

#define VXL_HAS_INT_32 1
#define VXL_INT_32_STRING "int"
#if 1
   typedef          int vxl_int_32;
   typedef   signed int vxl_sint_32;
   typedef unsigned int vxl_uint_32;
#else
# define vxl_int_32  void
# define vxl_sint_32 void
# define vxl_uint_32 void
#endif



Most likely in your system you will find that
the code is


#define VXL_HAS_INT_32 0
#define VXL_INT_32_STRING "int"
#if 0
   typedef          int vxl_int_32;
   typedef   signed int vxl_sint_32;
   typedef unsigned int vxl_uint_32;
#else
# define vxl_int_32  void
# define vxl_sint_32 void
# define vxl_uint_32 void
#endif


This may be the result of your compiler failing
to pass the Test that CMakes performs at configuration
time for figuring out if your compiler can manage
32 integers.


All, in all, still looks lika a basic misconfiguration
of your compiler, of a mixture of C and C++ compilers.


Please go to the binary directory and to its subdirectory
CMakeFiles, then take the files


    * CMakeError.log
    * CMakeOutput.log

and send them to us.


    Thanks


       Luis
