[Insight-users] [ITK Community] ITK External Modules

[Xiaoxiao Liu]

An ITK module follows a set of unified CMake APIs and  some default source
code organization ( src, test, include folder ).  Each module uses the
modular CMake macros defined in" CMake/ITKModuleMacros.cmake", e.g.
 itk_module() in the itk-module.cmake  sets up the module's name and its
dependencies on other modules.

Before compiling each module, a global dependency DAG is sorted out based
on the module dependencies specified in those itk-module.cmake files to
decide the order of build.

The top level CMake code looks for itk-module.cmake files inside the source
tree of ITK  at  the CMake configuration time. If you have a module outside
the source tree, it won't find it.

I hope this helps.
Thanks.
