building ITK tag v5.2.1 static in Visual Studio 2020 x64 build environment. I have Qt 5.15.2, VTK 9.1.0 and  
GDCM 3.1.0 built statically debug. ITK is configured to use\_system\_gdcm, shared libs off, no testing,  
no examples.  
I have the following build errors in VS:

238\>ITKRegistrationMethodsv4.vcxproj → C:\code\build\itk\_5.2.1\lib\Debug\ITKRegistrationMethodsv4-5.2.lib

240\>gd

etc.

Any help resolving these errors would be greatly appreciated …

@mathieu.malaterre is GDCM 3.1.0 compatible with ITK 5.2.1?

I managed to get ITK compiled after many iterations of configuring in CMake and  
after fixing a minor GDCM code bug with one of the GDCM vtk classes

“3.1.0” refer to the dev branch (odd minor number), so I suspect the rather conservative answer is: “No”.  
Use the release branch, latest release is: 3.0.18
