[Insight-users] building itk using visual studio 2010

Hi Xiaofeng,

It is now possible to build ITK with Visual Studio 10.


   Thanks a lot for contributing your fixes !


       This was a great example of
       the power of Open Source at work !     :-)


The relevant commits are the following:

http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/Common/itk_hashtable.h?root=Insight&r1=1.34&r2=1.35&sortby=date
http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/Common/itkMacro.h?root=Insight&r1=1.100&r2=1.101&sortby=date
http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/Common/itkMesh.txx?root=Insight&r1=1.104&r2=1.105&sortby=date


The first green Experimental build from a Visual Studio 10
build has been posted to the ITK Dashboard at:

http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=595426


Please update your CVS Checkout of ITK,
in order to get the working version.


Note that they are not yet the "correct" way of providing
support for Visual Studio 10.  In particular, the statements

         #if  defined( MSC_VER) ....

should be replaced by the proper TRY_COMPILE
equivalents.

We will be cleaning this up in the following days,
and moving the checks to the try_compile files in

Insight/CMake/
     itkTestFriendTemplatedFunction.cxx
     itkTestFriendTemplatedFunction.cmake



However,
in the meantime, you can start using ITK
with Visual Studio 10          :-)


   Please let us know if you find any issues.


We will let this marinate in the Dashboard for
a couple of days before we apply a patch to the
ITK 3.18 branch.



      Thanks


            Luis
