[Insight-users] Building ITK 4.2 with Python wrapping: A tool returned an error code from "Generating ../vcInstall_stamp.c"

[Constantine Z]

Hello ALL,

I've been wrestling with building ITK with Python wrapping on windows 
for a few days by now. I started with 3.21, then 4.1 and now 4.2. None 
of my attempts succeeded so far. Now, I don't think it matters too much 
what the problems were with 3.21 and 4.1, but with 4.2 I get this error:

A tool returned an error code from "Generating ../vcInstall_stamp.c"

Part of the output is given below.

Also, I've noticed that a whole bunch of itk_wrap_template calls are 
commented out in *.wrap files in 
InsightToolkit-4.2.0\Modules\Core\Mesh\wrapping which I'm pretty sure 
shouldn't be commented out, because CMake gives warnings about enabling 
more of the ITK_WRAP_<whatever> parameters.

I'm also wondering if anyone can share their experience with building 
ITK with Python wrapping in any older releases on Windows, I mean if 
there are any tips or tricks with that. I'd love to do my prototyping in 
Python rather than writing C++ "scripts" and endlessly recompiling them.

Many thanks,
Constantine
