i successfully built ITK 4.13 (as 'Release') on Windows 10 with the latest Visual Studio version (Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64 compiler). Then i tried to built the ITKHelloWorld example using the following CMakeLists.txt (as shown in the example by ITK):
#CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(HelloWorld)
find_package(ITK REQUIRED)
include(${ITK_USE_FILE})
add_executable(HelloWorld HelloWorld.cxx)
target_link_libraries(HelloWorld ${ITK_LIBRARIES})
Built runs without errors or warnings. Running the generated HelloWorld.exe file result in an ITKCommon-4.13.dll not found error.
The ITKCommon-4.13.dll was built by ITK, thus, i think i have to change something in the CMakeList file, but don't know what.
Any guess or solution?
Edit: The include(${ITK_USE_FILE}) expression in CMakeLists searches for UseITK.cmake, but this file is located in the source of ITK not in the build folder. Could this be a source of the error?
Edit2: Running a VTK Example also shows errors caused by not finding required .dlls.
There is no problem with your project. Windows can use dll libraries on runtime only if they are in PATH location. So there are two options: either you add bin/Release directory of ITK library to Windows's PATH system variable (the directory that contains all the ddls), or you just copy all the dlls from that directory to the one that contains your new application.
Precisely, you don't need to copy all the dlls, you can check by e.g. Dependency Walker, which ones are really needed.
