dependency upgrade progress

[mschachter]

Hi, just wanted to give an update on the process of upgrading dependencies. On this branch I have all the cmake files and many small issues in the source code corrected so that CaPTk starts to build for:

• Eigen 3.3.8
• ITK 5.1.2
• VTK 9.0.1
• OpenCV 4.5.0

Things were going ok until I encountered build issues with the greedy package (in src/applications/Preprocessing). This package seems to be forked - why is that?

I started upgrading dependencies to greedy on a forked branch, but paused because some of the threading code needs to be refactored and want some input from the maintainer before diving into it.

Let me know what you think if you get the chance!

Looking at the diff with the main repo, it seems to have an integrated CMake build system and an extra CLI wrapper that makes working with greedy a bit easier.

That sounds great! I am hopeful that Paul would be able to resolve the questions you have.

Paul has updated Greedy to support ITK-5 in a new branch: https://github.com/pyushkevich/greedy/tree/itk5

Noted - I'll return to this project as soon as I can.
