Does this also require the newer CMAKE? I had 2.10.8 but I am not afraid to install a newer one (3.5.0?)

Hello,
I think there are some plan old C file too. I just add the following to the cmake command line:
-DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE:BOOL=ON
You could also add “-fPIC” to the CFLAGS too.

Hi, Matt
I did that but it didn't work. Exactly the same error. See a little further back in the thread:
That's where I lost patience with 'combinatorial trial and error approach' , I added -fPIC everywhere I could think of
The position-independent-code seems to be generated for all libs except a small selction of i/o libs ; gdcm* ,Nrrd , and a couple of others (trial-and-error)
If I don't include these in the final link, then the link is successful. All other libraries appear to have PIC generated.
But, the final library isn't usable. I wonder what these ones have in common?? Is there a 'glitch' in the makefile generation that omits -fPIC in these cases somehow?
libitkgdcmjpeg8-4.10.a
libitkgdcmjpeg12-4.10.a
libitkgdcmjpeg16-4.10.a
libitkgdcmopenjpeg-4.10.a
libitkgdcmuuid-4.10.a
libITKEXPAT-4.10.a
libITKniftiio-4.10.a
libITKNrrdIO-4.10.a
libitkhdf5-4.10.a
libitksys-4.10.a
(using system jpeg, tiff, zlib and png)
Ironically , it's only .mhd I actually want to use and it is not on the problem list. But the io-objects need all these to be available just in case they get used, I suppose.
I have tried some combinations of these options but, you know, it
takes a while to rebuild ITK even though the computer is pretty good.
BUILD_POSITION_DEPENDENT_CODE OFF (I don’t think this should be ON
because that really wouldn’t work? )
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF (or ON)
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS -fPIC (or default)
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS -fPIC (or default)
CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS (should this be set too? )

Hi Robert,
/usr/bin/ld:
/dls_sw/apps/itk/itk-master-static/lib/libitkgdcmjpeg8-4.10.a(jerror.c
.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text' can not be used when
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
This means that "-fPIC" should be added to the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS for ITK.
HTH,
Matt

Hi, Dženan, and List :
Thanks for the tips, but, building the executable by pointing to the
itk-build folder for linking is exactly what I did not want to do. I
want the compiled instances of the specific templated objects to be
put into a stand-alone library that could then be linked , in an
environment where the ITK build directory may not be available, and
within a project that’s not using cmake (yet? J ) just for a small
single-data-type-specific filter chain that would be a bit nontrivial to just re-
implement myself!
I had some success with the following, for the example ITKFilterLib:
Using the itk-master-git-static as built before, (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
OFF)
In CMakeLists.txt for the project, add SHARED keyword to the library
defninition:
15 ADD_LIBRARY(Example_ITKFilterLib SHARED ITKFilterLib.cxx )
Then use cmake + make to build the libExample_ITKFilterLib.so library.
Then I can invoke g++ as follows
build]$ g++ ../ITKFilterLib/ITKFilterLibTest.cxx -o testcomp -L . -l
Example_ITKFilterLib -I ../ITKFilterLib/
Even if the itk-master-static is not available in that environment,
this succeeds, and I believe this is what I want. I don’t want to have
a statically linked final executable, but rather a .so library.
However …
I encountered another hitch trying to apply this to my actual project.
If there were any FileWriter and FileReader present in the library, it
would not build, complaining about position-dependent symbols in
several IO libraries , most of which I was not actually wanting to use
at all. This happened at the step of trying to build the .so library
using the makefile created by cmake:
/usr/bin/ld:
/dls_sw/apps/itk/itk-master-static/lib/libitkgdcmjpeg8-4.10.a(jerror.c.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/dls_sw/apps/itk/itk-master-static/lib/libitkgdcmjpeg8-4.10.a: could
not read symbols: Bad value
Removing any reference to FileReader and FileWriter gets rid of this
problem.
Thanks!
As a further note:
There are also some directions in the comments of the ITKFilterLib
example that did not turn out to be necessary in my project. I did not
have to create global objects for poitners or image containiers
outside the scope of the class and still did not have to #include itkImage.h in
the main program.
I placed the typedef’s inside the class and the instantiations of the
smart poitners in the class constructor. I don’t see that this extra
complication in the example is necessary unless it is platform dependent?
ITKFilterLib.cxx from ItkApps example:
23 #include "ITKFilterLib.h"
24
25 // Nasty local globals inside .cxx file to hide itk from the real world.
26 // Can't put this variable in the class definition otherwise we'd have
to
27 // include itkImage.h in every program using this class.
28 // The typedef h_itkFilterLibeDataType is in itkFilterLib.h to hide
29 // templates
30 typedef itk::Image<g_ItkFilterLibDataType,3> g_ImageType;
31 g_ImageType::Pointer g_InputImage;
32 g_ImageType::Pointer g_OutputImage;
I did not find this to be necessary in my project.
33
34
35 //
36 //
37 // The first filter in the .lib
38 //
39 //
40
41 /** The next lines are used to include the definition of the filter
42 * we want to install in the .lib, define a typedef for it, and create
43 * a "smart" pointer to hold it.
44 * CHANGE HERE: The filter to be instantiated.
45 **/
46 #include "itkCurvatureAnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter.h"
47 typedef itk::CurvatureAnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter<g_ImageType,
48 g_ImageType> g_AnisoFilterType;
49 g_AnisoFilterType::Pointer g_anisoFilter;
50
I also did not find it to be necessary to have this sort of typedef
and instantiation of the object at global scope in my project.

Hi Robert,
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF is the crucial setting. You can keep the rest of
options on defaults.
Your CMake code looks OK. You should execute the following from your
folder:
cmake .
make
During CMake step you should configure options (point to the itk-build
folder which was configured with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF). Afterwards,
do not invoke g++ directly - invoke make, which supplies correct
include directories and link libraries so you don't run into a thousand errors.

Dženan

Hi,
Thanks, Dženan, for the hint. But, does anyone have specific
information on exactly which options to set in each of: the ITK cmake
options; and the project cmake options, or the plain g++ for building
an external program to link to the library, for this to work ? There
appear to be a few that might be related to this. Because, so far,
simply changing the build options of the ITK installation didn’t work. See
below for even more details .
Thanks
Robert
Options selected in the project:
ITK_DIR
/dls_sw/apps/itk/itk-master-static/lib/cmake/ITK-4.10
In the ITK with installation to itk-master-static:
I have tried some combinations of these options but, you know, it
takes a while to rebuild ITK even though the computer is pretty good.
BUILD_POSITION_DEPENDENT_CODE OFF (I don’t think this should be ON

BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF (or ON)
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS -fPIC (or default)
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS -fPIC (or default)
CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS (should this be set too? )
The CMakeLists in the project file – only small modification from the
original to ‘BUILD_OUTSIDE_INSIGHT_APPICATIONS’. The project builds
using the Cmake makefile, producing the library and the executable
But trying to build either the ‘main’ procedure provided with linking
to that library, or even simplifying the ‘main’ to do virtually
nothing except instantiate the object, results in 1000 error messages
of ‘undefined symbols’

Hi Robert,
maybe you need to link to ITK statically? To accomplish this you
probably need to build ITK as static libraries (it is a configuration
option in CMake).

Hi,
This example, ITKApps/ITKFilterLib, appears to be an example of what I
want to do , bundle or encapsulate a specific ITK-based filter into a
library so that another program may just call it without having to
have the ITK source installation available.
However, a basic test for me is not working.
I just tried to compile the test example from command line after
building the library with Cmake as usual. I get hundreds of 'undefined
reference', as if I have to link with all the ITK libs anyways.
Am I missing something?
