[Insight-users] Problem using SimpleITK

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

The quick answer is in your project's configuration set the CMake variable "SimpleITK_DIR" to "/PathToYouSimpleITKSuperbuid/lib/cmake/SimpleITK-0.6". This path should contain the SimpleITKConfig.cmake file and a couple other SimpleITK files. Alternatively, You should also be able to point this variable to the actual SimpleITK sub-build which would be  "/PathToYouSimpleITKSuperbuid/SimpleITK-build".

Regarding the installation. The way Superbuilds install is a little different than expected. In short it happens during the Superbuild process. If you configure the "CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX" to the path you want ITK and SimpleITK installed, they will be installed during the superbuild.

The install only installs the C++ headers and libraries and not any of the Wrapped languages. Most of the wrapped languages have their own way to do things and configure modules, so that is not done by default.

Lastly, because you said you needed to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH it sounds like you choose to use shared libraries? This adds a bit of complexity to things, so unless there is a good reason I would not recommend to it get started with.
