[ITK-users] Problem adding ITK to project

Thu Apr 9 17:31:18 EDT 2015

Hi Kent,

Thanks for discussing this on the list. A restriction on static
libraries is not a known issue -- it would be interesting to get your
report on whether shared libraries help.

What version of ITK and VTK is this?

Thanks,
Matt
