Issue

I am in the process of submitting a Conda package for ANTs, a medical image registration package based on ITK.

I managed to build a working package for Linux and macOS successfully, but I am unable to build it for Windows due to linking errors such as:

2023-06-03T20:49:24.5920686Z ITKOptimizers-5.3.lib(ITKOptimizers-5.3.dll) : error LNK2005: "protected: __cdecl itk::CostFunctionTemplate<double>::CostFunctionTemplate<double>(void)" (??0?$CostFunctionTemplate@N@itk@@IEAA@XZ) already defined in antsUtilities.lib(antsRegistration4DDouble.cxx.obj)

2023-06-03T20:49:38.3031489Z Examples\antsAffineInitializer.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found

I am not familiar with the specificities of Windows builds. Could you help me figure out where the issue comes from (ITK, ANTS or their respective Conda packages)? Would you have any suggestions w.r.t. how to fix this?

Thank you in advance.
