[Insight-users] Build ITK 4.0 under Win x64 and Visual Studio 2008

[IsabelleNg]

Dear Luis/ Users,

I have problems building the latest ITK release on Windows. Any pointer is
appreciated! 

I downloaded a copy with git; used CMAKE 2.8.3; did not get CMAKE error
messages. Upon building in VS08, however, I got many errors related to
vxl/vnl:

e.g.
Error	1	  error C2906: 'vnl_numeric_traits<bool>' : explicit specialization
requires 'template <>'	C:\ITK\Utilities\vxl\core\vnl\vnl_numeric_traits.h	71

Error	2        error C2906: 'vnl_numeric_traits<char>' : explicit
specialization requires 'template <>'
C:\ITK\Utilities\vxl\core\vnl\vnl_numeric_traits.h	95

Error	4180	  fatal error C1004: unexpected end-of-file found
C:\ITK\Utilities\vxl\core\vnl\vnl_numeric_traits.h	503

I attempted to update vxl from upstream with:  
 git branch vxl-upstream e1954b95

as instructed in 
\Utilities\vxl\README-ITK

but got a "fatal: not a repository" message


I found this thread on VXL issues, but also did not find the problem noted
in /Utilities/vxl/core/vxl_config.h which appears to be "normal"

#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

/* Mac OS X Universal binary support requires a preprocessor test.  */
#if defined(__APPLE__)
# define VXL_HAS_INT_64 1
# if __LONG_MAX__ == 0x7fffffff
#  define VXL_INT_64_STRING "long long"
  typedef          long long vxl_int_64;
  typedef   signed long long vxl_sint_64;
  typedef unsigned long long vxl_uint_64;
#  define VXL_INT_64_IS_LONG 0
# elif __LONG_MAX__>>32 == 0x7fffffff
#  define VXL_INT_64_STRING "long"
  typedef          long vxl_int_64;
  typedef   signed long vxl_sint_64;
  typedef unsigned long vxl_uint_64;
#  define VXL_INT_64_IS_LONG 1
# else
#  error "Cannot determine sizeof(long) from __LONG_MAX__."
# endif
#else
# define VXL_HAS_INT_64 1
# define VXL_INT_64_STRING "long long"
# if 1
  typedef          long long vxl_int_64;
  typedef   signed long long vxl_sint_64;
  typedef unsigned long long vxl_uint_64;
# else
#  define vxl_int_64  void
#  define vxl_sint_64 void
#  define vxl_uint_64 void
# endif
# define VXL_INT_64_IS_LONG 0
#endif
