[Insight-users] PyBuffer and external projects

Mon Mar 18 08:46:53 EDT 2013

Hello David,

There are three things I have done to expedite this:

1) While you are developing your module only turn that one on. CMake should turn on the required depended too, if you have testing enabled it'll turn on a bunch more. You need to do this as a fresh cmake configuration:

 ccmake ~/src/ITK -DITK_BUILD_ALL_MODULES:BOOL=OFF -DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF -DModule_ITKPyBuffer:BOOL=ON

2) Use ccache. Set it as compiler and make sure "ITK_USE_CCACHE" us turn on. This will speed up recompilation.

3) Get a faster machine.

Brad
