Issue with CGAL ITK_Support

Discussed in #7854

^{Originally posted by oarcelus November 10, 2023}
I am trying to build a CGAL program that uses ITK.

I downloaded and setup everything with vcpkg for x64. When trying to configure my Cmake folder the following error appears.

CMake Error at C:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/share/cgal/CGAL_ITK_support.cmake:4 (set_target_properties):
  Property INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES may not contain link-type keyword
  "optimized".  The INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property may contain
  configuration-sensitive generator-expressions which may be used to specify
  per-configuration rules.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:52 (include)

Does this mean that I need to install ITK in ´debug´ or ´general´ mode?

That is a bug from about file CGAL_ITK_support.cmake. That file should use the imported targets created by ITKConfig.cmake.

We should extend our testsuite process. We have lost the testing of all 3rd party libraries on Windows since the switch to christo.

ITK is actually tested on Christo, in the example mesh_3D_weighted_image.cpp for example

However it has been installed manually, not via vcpkg

Hello @oarcelus
thanks for the report.
We have prepared a pull-request that should fix the issue you are facing : #7858
Can you please give it a try and tell us if it fixes the issue with your local configuration?
Thanks!

I have changed the CMakeLists.txt file in the same way as in the merge request.

if(TARGET CGAL::CGAL_ImageIO)

  if(CGAL_ImageIO_USE_ZLIB)

    create_single_source_cgal_program("mesh_from_labeled_3d_array.cpp")
    target_link_libraries(mesh_from_labeled_3d_array PUBLIC CGAL::Eigen3_support) 

    create_single_source_cgal_program("mesh_from_labeled_3d_array_with_subdomain.cpp")
    target_link_libraries(mesh_from_labeled_3d_array_with_subdomain PUBLIC CGAL::Eigen3_support) 

    find_package(ITK NAMES ITK InsightToolkit
                     QUIET COMPONENTS ITKCommon ITKThresholding ITKSmoothing ITKImageIntensity)
    if(ITK_FOUND)
      message(STATUS "ITK found")
      include(${ITK_USE_FILE})
      set(ITK_LIBS ITKCommon ITKSmoothing ITKImageIntensity)

      create_single_source_cgal_program("mesh_from_labeled_3d_array_with_weights.cpp")
      target_link_libraries(mesh_from_labeled_3d_array
                            PUBLIC CGAL::Eigen3_support
                            ${ITK_LIBS})
    endif()
  endif()
else()

I still get an error when building the last mesh_from_labeled_3d_array_with_weights.cpp program. The error log is huge, this is a samplee

mesh_from_labeled_3d_array_with_weights.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) void __cdecl itk::OutputWindowDisplayWarningText(char const *)" (_imp?OutputWindowDisplayWarningText@itk@@YAXPEBD@Z) referenced in function "protec

I have built ITK with vcpkg.

Sorry, I tried installing all of the Mesh_3 programs and there were no errors such as the abovementioned ones. The problem must be on my side.
