Issue including statismo on project.

[NahomKidane]

I used external ITK, VTK & Eigen to build Statismo. Although I faced some problems while using external HDF5, I managed to build and run tests using ITK_HDF5 instead.

However, now I'm encountering an error while making a simple Statismo project using cmake. Could you please suggest a solution to resolve this issue?

Statismo is no longer actively maintained. I suspect that you will encounter all kinds of issues when trying to run it.
Have you checked out the forks (see also the README for a link to a more recent fork)?

@Andreas-Forster Are you aware of an actively maintained version of Statismo?

Hi @marcelluethi,
Thank you for getting back to me.

I am actually working with the fork from https://github.com/latimagine. However, I tried to follow the instructions as closely as possible, and the unit tests worked, but when I wanted to include it as a library, I kept having issues with HDF5.
