Error while installing SimpleElastix on Windows.

[jayanthharwalkar]

I am trying to install SimpleElstix on Windows (in a Conda environment) but I am not able to solve this error.

I tried to look for _SimpleITK.pyd but I can't find it anywhere.
Tried doing this but it didn't work.
Is there a possible fix for this?
Also, this is my first time posting an issue on GitHub so please ask for anything that is required to solve this.

Hello,

I've had issues compiling SimpleElastix on Windows as well but did get there eventually. I wrote down some steps I had to take (a few months back) to get there. Not sure everything still applies, but here's a brain dump.

Do let me know if some things don't make sense, I'll try to come back to this comment and clean things up. I needed to compile SimpleElastix to use with Valis.

Follow the cmake instructions

https://simpleelastix.readthedocs.io/GettingStarted.html

Note: Maybe my build directory wasn't where it was supposed to be, so let me know if I need to change the paths below.

git clone https://github.com/SuperElastix/SimpleElastix
cd SimpleElastix
mkdir build
cd build

Launch miniconda, then activate the right environment
We’re doing step 3 of the instructions instead of opening Visual Studio…

Then this in the valis_37 environment
%comspec% /k "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"

cmake -DWRAP_JAVA:BOOL=OFF -DWRAP_LUA:BOOL=OFF -DWRAP_R:BOOL=OFF -DWRAP_RUBY:BOOL=OFF -DWRAP_TCL:BOOL=OFF -DSimpleITK_PYTHON_USE_VIRTUALENV:BOOL=OFF ../SuperBuild

msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release

C:\Projects\SimpleElastix\SuperBuild\SuperBuild.cmake – Add the Git protocol lines:

enable_language(C)
enable_language(CXX)

When compilation fails, go fix the error. A search pointed to opj_includes.h (The one from OpenJPEG):

InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK#1967

From the thread: @dzenanz Thanks for your info and help. I tried to apply a patch for ../Modules/ThirdParty/OpenJPEG/src/openjpeg/opj_includes.h as below. It can build pass. Thank you very much.

EZ: search replace lrintf and replace by obj_lrintf (two places). In vim: %s/long\ lrintf(/long\ obj_lrintf(/g

… and potentially
need to
pip install --upgrade virtualenv

Installation, check this:

Still under the valis environment,

cd SimpleITK-build/Wrapping/Python
python Packaging\setup.py install

#366
#233

From the threads: For all those who have this issue, all I did was copy _SimpleITK.pyd from the ...\Python\ directory to ...\Python\Packaging. This seems to have fixed it. I also ran a registration and it seems to work!

Test if it’s all been installed properly and working

Import SimpleITK as sitk
elastixImageFilter = sitk.ElastixImageFilter()

Note If you have an error, maybe you already have sitk installed with pip, so need to uninstall it. Only keep the one you just built!!

pip uninstall simpleitk

Here we can find an appropriate version of libvips compiled for windows (64 bit)…
