Compile error using code from itkMontage module.

Beginner Questions
1

I am trying to run example code given in itkMontage module from here. When I try to compile the code, I am getting the following error. Any pointers to how to solve this error would be a great help.

It looks like the examples got slightly outdated again. I will fix it over the coming days.

Thanks @dzenanz. Could you outline what you think is broken… so that I can attempt a fix for my code.

This is essentially a conversion from non-const type to const type. Most likely a const keyword needs to be added somewhere. Please make a PR if you fix it.

This is a compile error, which I am not getting. Which compiler are you using?

6

This error happens for gcc-4.8 but not for gcc-7.4. It was dirving me crazy. Thanks!

I am also getting that compile error with GCC-4.8.5. Since the point of instantiation does not involve const, this might be a bug in GCC 4.8.5.

GCC 5.4.0 has no problem with it.
