[Insight-users] cmake couldn't find ITK-4.0

[Juan Cardelino]

Hi Luis,
           Thanks for your answer. I think my previous mail was a
mess, so I will try to be clearer now. I had one installation of ITK 4
(an early version I think) in /usr/local/, the code was downloaded in
the folder /home/juan/juanc/soft/develop/ITK-dev/ITK and built in
/home/juan/juanc/soft/develop/ITK-dev/ITK-build. When I did a make
install, it will copy everything to /usr/local/include and
/usr/local/lib and after that my cmake based project used to found ITK
without problem.
As a side note, files where installed in
/usr/local/include/InsightToolikt-4.0 and
/usr/local/lib/InsightToolikt-4.0. I think the ITKConfig.cmake was in
/usr/local/lib/.

After some time from the first git clone, I've made a git pull on the
source directory (/home/juan/juanc/soft/develop/ITK-dev/ITK), rm -fr
on both /usr/local/include/InsightToolikt-4.0 and
/usr/local/lib/InsightToolikt-4.0 and after rebuilding it (cmake, make
,make install), I found two odd things:
*first: the libraries were refactored to from ITKCommon, ITK-Common-4.0.
*second: the ITKConfig.cmake was installed in /usr/local/lib/cmake/ITK-4.0

As you could see, not the ITK headers nor the libs are installed in
the cmake subfolder
>ls -lh /usr/local/lib/cmake/ITK-4.0/

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.9K 2011-05-04 11:26 ITKTargets.cmake
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  27K 2011-05-11 11:55 ITKTargets-noconfig.cmake
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2011-05-04 11:35 Modules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7K 2011-04-25 10:36 UseITK.cmake

So, short answer for you. No, I don't have two installations of ITK.
Maybe I have some leftovers from the first installation. I did this on
the 3 machines I work with the same result, so I'm sure I'm making a
systematic error.

Now, when I cmake on my project ITK isn't found, but when I set ITKDIR
to /usr/local/lib/cmake/ITK-4.0/ everything works perfect.
Any clues?
Thanks for your time.
Best,
         Juan
