ofstream.h Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such f

[loveDcmtk]

Hello,

I use DCMTK 3.6.0 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on a on a Windows Xp system.
I compiled DCMTK using CMAKE 2.8.8
I am trying to compile my own project and I had compilation errors:

ofstream.h(67) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory

how to correct this error?
thank you

Are you mixing the two different implementations of I/O streams that are contained in the MS VS compilers? Is USE_STD_CXX_INCLUDES defined in your "dcmtk/config/osconfig.h" include file?

I have no idea but I think that's the problem

Is USE_STD_CXX_INCLUDES defined in your "dcmtk/config/osconfig.h" include file?

Yes USE_STD_CXX_INCLUDES is defined in dcmtk/config/osconfig.h

[J. Riesmeier]

Then you are probably including DCMTK headers in your source files without including "dcmtk/config/osconfig.h" at the very beginning of these files.

Code: Select all

#include "dcmtk/config/osconfig.h"    /* make sure OS specific configuration is included first */
#include "<some other DCMTK header file>"

NO

I'm including DCMTK headers like this :

Code: Select all

//Include Files for JpegLosless Version 2
#include "dcmtk/config/osconfig.h"
#include "dcmtk/ofstd/ofstdinc.h"

#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dctk.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcostrma.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcitem.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/cmdlnarg.h"
#include "dcmtk/ofstd/ofconapp.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcuid.h"     /* for dcmtk version name */
#include "dcmtk/dcmjpeg/djdecode.h"  /* for dcmjpeg decoders */
#include "dcmtk/dcmjpeg/djencode.h"  /* for dcmjpeg encoders */
#include "dcmtk/dcmjpeg/djrplol.h"   /* for DJ_RPLossless */
#include "dcmtk/dcmjpeg/djrploss.h"  /* for DJ_RPLossy */
#include "dcmtk/dcmjpeg/dipijpeg.h"  /* for dcmimage JPEG plugin */
#include "dcmtk/dcmimage/diregist.h"  /* include to support color images */

#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcrledrg.h"  /* for DcmRLEDecoderRegistration */

[J. Riesmeier]

Why are you including "dcmtk/ofstd/ofstdinc.h" without defining any INCLUDE_xxx macro before this particular line? Basically, this should do nothing ... (look into the file).

[loveDcmtk]

I I removed the "dcmtk/ofstd/ofstdinc.h"
but I still have the error
ofstream.h(67) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory

Please try to check "Ignore standard include path" is checked in project settings->C++->preprocessor.

When building DCMTK ?

When building DCMTK ?

Both methods could be reliable:
1. Modify in Visual Studio manually.
1. CMake: set_target_properties( target PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS “/X" )

Hi everybody, I have just the same problem and it begun when updating my code from version 3.5.5 _xxx to 3.6.0. I compiled DCMTK with CMake 2.8.10.2 and after compiling I got that "fatal error C1083: cannot open include file: 'iostream.h'" message. I´m developing on VS2008 and Windows XP-32. I´ve tried the solutions posted by Mr Riesmeier and Chung but still have the same error.As a side note, if I redirect the include files´search back to 3.5.5 it compiles OK.
Can you give me a hint of what I´m doing wrong? Thanks.

[Chung-Yueh Lien]

Since VS 6 or latest version is looking for <iostream>, instead of <iostream.h>. Otherwise, you can define HAVE_STD_NAMESPACE in "dcmtk/config/osconfig.h".
Another way is to change the line in "dcmtk\ofstd\ofstream.h"

Code: Select all

#include <iostream.h>

to

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>

However, the second method I did not test yet.

[oxymoron]

I finally found the reason of this error, it seems that the CMake version I´m using stores osconfig.h in a different directory than the older version I used, that is "%DCMTKROOT%\include" and left some standard almost empty osconfig.h in "%DCMTKROOT%\config\include", that was where the former CMake version put it.
I don´t know if I misconfigured CMake or it´s the expected behaviour.
Thanks a lot.
