[Insight-users] [ITK Community] [Insight-Developers] Problem with trivial filter (no inputs and outputs)

HI Alessio,

Thanks for the response.  All the .cxx source files need to be built
into the executable (header's don't necessarily need to be specified
-- they get pulled in by the "#include" lines).  So,

> All these files are in the same directory (main.cxx   TrainingFilter.cxx
> TrainingFilter.h    CmakeLists.txt)
> My CMakeLists code is here:

> PROJECT (Training)
> CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8)
>
> FIND_PACKAGE (ITK REQUIRED)
> INCLUDE (${ITK_USE_FILE})
>
> ADD_EXECUTABLE ( TrainingFilter main.cxx )

 ADD_EXECUTABLE ( TrainingFilter TrainingFilter.cxx main.cxx )

Hope this helps,
Matt
