Re: [Vxl-maintainers] j2k-configuration issues imorphics machines

[Octavian B. <deu...@gm...>]

Well the thing is I force a check on the standard SDK before attempting to
build the j2k library. Apparently it is present on the imorphics cluster.
Line 53 of FindECW:
IF( WIN32 AND (EXISTS ${vxl_SOURCE_DIR}/v3p/j2k/Source/include/NCSEcw.h) AND
WIN32SDK_FOUND )
Only the paid Visual Studio versions include the Microsoft API, VCExpress
not being one of them.
ATL is not a GUI library but an API for writing COM objects easier. The j2k
library has features for streaming image data from server based
applications. And I think the code uses ATL .
So the options are either force a check on ATL or isolate this server
streaming feature of j2k. I would rather go with the former.

Thanks,
