[Insight-users] SimpleITK cannot build

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello Lisa,

Building SimpleITK with the superbuild ( it just build the required SWIG and ITK versions along with SimpleITK ), is described in the getting started [1] section linked from the faq. If there are parts that are unclear or need further explanation please let us know that that is can be improved.

However, it sounds like getting the binaries is where you should go to get started.

This is actually my preferred method, as I am comfortable using native ITK and C++, and it gives me maximum flexibility. SimpleITK is much easier but less flexible.

I've absolutely no idea how to go about doing that unless I were to get explicit instructions directing every step. Like I said before the only reason I decided to go along with C# is because I definitely need a UI and C# is easier for that but I'm more comfortable with C++ and if there's a way.......

Usually I manage to get around these but for some reason (I guess my brain has been refusing to work) I've been stuck with these errors for 2 days. They are probably just 2 minutes work for somebody out there so could you help me out please? I'm pasting the error report -
