How to use ITK with vcpkg
Raw
Build_ITK_app_with_vcpkg.md

There is a package for the Insight Toolkit (ITK) v5.1 in the vcpkg tool's ports collection. It installs itself into a folder called ITK-5.1 under the triplet's include folder. However, if you are using the Visual Studio integration (which is very convenient) then this will not work. The headers in ITK do not have a prefix, so they expect to be in the root of a specified include path. The solution is to add it manually, thus:

  • go into the Project Properties' dialog

  • go to the 'C/C++ > General' page

  • edit the 'Additional Include Directories' setting

  • add the following entries to the paths:

      $(VcpkgCurrentInstalledDir)include\ITK-5.1
  $(VcpkgCurrentInstalledDir)include\eigen3

The libraries are found automatically (using the pragma trick) and the dependent DLLs are copied into the target folder.
