InsightToolkit: error: use of undeclared identifier 'equal'

[junsungp@…]

OS : Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3
gcc version : 4.2

I've tried to install itk on my system with following command.

sudo port install InsightToolkit

but I met an error.

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)

same error on Mac OSX 10.8.2

I'm experiencing the same problem with MacPorts version 2.1.3 on Mac OS x 10.8.3 when I try to install the InsightToolkit using the command

sudo port install insighttoolkit -doc -python25 +shared

The probleem seemed to be related to the fact Clang rejects a certain kind of construction detailed on the following webpage

​http://clang.llvm.org/compatibility.html#dep_lookup_bases

What the webpage tells you is that the statement

return equal( this->data_block(), rhs.data_block() );

on line 657 of the file InsightToolkit-3.16/Utilities/vxl/core/vnl/vnl_matrix_fixed_ref.h is not a legal construction and should be changed to

return this->equal( this->data_block(), rhs.data_block() );

Notice the 'this->' in front of the the call to equal; from what I understand this is essential to refer base class of the derived class.

There are a few more places where you have to change this illegal construction.

The same problem exists in the file InsightToolkit-3.16/Code/Common/itkParametricPath.txx On line 46 and line 67 (twice! [2x]) you have to change the calls to 'Evaluate(...)' into 'this->Evaluate(...)'

There is another bug as well in the file InsightToolkit-3.16/Code/Common/itkKLMSegmentationBorder.h On line 84, 88, 103, 104, and 109 you have to change the statements with 'rhs.m_Pointer...' into 'rhs->m_Pointer...' (Notice that the dot changes into the arrow)

After that, I could build and install the InsightToolkit using the command

sudo port install insighttoolkit -doc -python25 +shared

without any further problems.

Note sure if this helps any of you. Sorry, I don't know how to create patches, so you'll have to modify the source code yourself. Or maybe someone else can verify these fixes and patch the files for you. I believe they already fixed these particular problems in release 3.20 (see webpage ​https://itk.icts.uiowa.edu/fisheye/changelog/ITK?cs=68d1a8a60bd919e709e568c9e12477d2f632368a)

In 1b59ebeba1383f1288adf62161e256119283fec1/macports-ports (master):

InsightToolkit{,312,314}: removed in favor of InsightToolkit-devel

The last ITK 3.x release 3.20 is out in 2010, and 4.x have been there
for almost 8 years. I see no reason to keep 3.x around.

Closes: #23772
Closes: #26373
Closes: #33857
Closes: #37894
Closes: #42973
Closes: #45634
Closes: #45670
Ref: #47691

InsightToolkit (3.16.0) has been dropped in favor of InsightToolkit-devel (4.8.2). Feel free to open new issues if you can't install InsightToolkit-devel.
