Difficulties installing ITK

Question

So I am using Cmake and Mingw 32 on a windows 7 machine to install ITK 4.2.1. However, I am getting the following error. I have attempted to google the answer but have not found anything. Any and all help would be very much appreciated!

[  1%] Building CXX object Modules/ThirdParty/VNL/src/vxl/vcl/CMakeFiles/itkvcl.
dir/vcl_deprecated.cxx.obj
g++.exe: error: /wd4244: No such file or directory
mingw32-make[2]: *** [Modules/ThirdParty/VNL/src/vxl/vcl/CMakeFiles/itkvcl.dir/v

mingw32-make[1]: *** [Modules/ThirdParty/VNL/src/vxl/vcl/CMakeFiles/itkvcl.dir/a
ll] Error 2
mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2"

Thanks,

Matt

Answer 1

If you remove VNL option (if it is not needed in your project) while configuring ITK this error may be solved.

If you want to build with MSVC this link will surely help you

I would suggest installing Visual Studio (VS) 2013 Express edition and using it to build ITK. I have been using ITK since 2008 and I believe VS is the intended compiler/IDE for ITK developers on Windows.

If you have a look at the ITK Dashboard, they have several nightly builds for VS, but I do not see MinGW for Windows anywhere: https://open.cdash.org/index.php?project=Insight
