So your plan is to load the data using calls through BF-CPP, then pass the
resultant array to a new ITK image yourself? This could certainly work, but
is a rather roundabout way of doing things. We were hoping such workarounds
would be unnecessary with the BF-ITK plugin working properly. It is more
involved to compile BF-CPP (which needs to link to Boost Thread and the
Java JVM) than it is to build BF-ITK (which has no compile-time
dependencies).

I will reply to your BF-ITK question in another thread, so hopefully we can
get that sorted, and then you won't need to use BF-CPP for this.

Currently there is no CMake Find file. I am not an expert, but my
understanding is that typically, a CMake Find script looks in various
"install" locations across various platforms to find the necessary
libraries. However, we do not provide a working "install" target for BF-CPP
that puts the binaries into any specific location. So I am not sure how
such a Find script would work in this case. Any ideas or suggestions would
be welcome!

Regards,
Curtis
