[Insight-users] Fwd: A challenge to all Windows users

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi URI,

Congratulations in your success building ITK with MinGW,

and Thanks a lot to all the ITK users who lent a hand here...
that was a great example of Open Source community !.

--

Now that you are building examples, please not that they
are intended to be run from the command line prompt.

None of the examples provide a GUI, nor flashy windows
and visualizations.


You will configure them with CMake, compile them by
calling "make", and then you will find executables that
you will invoke directly from the command line.

For the case of the HelloWorld example, you simply
will use the command:

                        ./HelloWorld.exe

and you should get as response a message printed
in your MinGW shell:

                   "ITK Hello World !"



      Regards,


              Luis
