[Insight-users] Trouble building ITK

Wed Jan 25 10:37:57 EST 2012

Dan,

Thanks for the help, changing the Visual Studio settings fixed the build issue with ITK 4.0.  

I was also able to fix the error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'itkImage.h': No such file or directory, by adding the following lines to the beginning of the CMakeLists.txt file.

FIND_PACKAGE(ITK)

IF(ITK_FOUND)

INCLUDE(${ITK_USE_FILE})

ELSE(ITK_FOUND)

MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "Cannot build InsightApplications without ITK. Please set ITK_DIR.")

ENDIF(ITK_FOUND)

Hi Chris,

There have been recent reports that building ITK 4.0.0 x64 using
Visual Studio 10 hangs.

See here:

Some advice:

1. Set Tools>Options>Projects and Solutions>Build and Run>Maximum
number of parallel project builds" = 1
2. Set BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF

HTH

Cheers, Dan
