FFTWFFTImageFilterInitFactory unconditionally registered every FFTW
filter for both float and double via FFTImageFilterFactory, whose
constructor instantiated both precisions. The single-precision-only
1-D FFTW filters (e.g. FFTWForward1DFFTImageFilter) form member type
aliases from fftw::ComplexToComplexProxy<PixelType>, which is defined
only for the configured precision. Building with ITK_USE_FFTWF=ON and
ITK_USE_FFTWD=OFF therefore failed to compile ITKFFT
("no type named 'PlanType' in 'itk::fftw::ComplexToComplexProxy<double>'").
Add FFTImageFilterEnableFloat / FFTImageFilterEnableDouble predicates
(both default true) and guard the factory constructor with if constexpr.
The FFTW InitFactory specializes the predicate to false_type for the
precision whose backend is absent, so only the configured precision is
registered. Vnl and other factories are unaffected because the
predicates default to enabling both precisions.
In the ITK_USE_FFTWF block, FFTW_INCLUDE was assigned from FFTW3_INCLUDE_DIRS (the double-precision variable), which is only set inside the ITK_USE_FFTWD block. When ITK is configured with ITK_USE_FFTWF=ON and ITK_USE_FFTWD=OFF, FFTW_INCLUDE is left empty, so the staged fftw3.h include directory is never added and ITKFFT fails to compile with "fatal error: 'fftw3.h' file not found". The defect is masked whenever both precisions are enabled because the FFTWD block reassigns FFTW_INCLUDE afterward. Use the single-precision FFTW3f_INCLUDE_DIRS in the FFTWF block so single-precision-only builds resolve the header.
The FFTW filter headers reference FFTW_FORWARD/FFTW_BACKWARD/FFTW_ESTIMATE and other fftw3.h symbols but obtained them only transitively through itkFFTWCommon.h / itkFFTWCommonExtended.h. Those proxy headers guard the fftw3.h include with `#if defined(ITK_USE_FFTWF) || defined(ITK_USE_FFTWD)` without first including itkConfigure.h. When a proxy header is first included before ITK_USE_FFTW* is defined, the guard is false, fftw3.h is skipped, and the proxy's include guard is set so later inclusions are no-ops, leaving the FFTW symbols undeclared at parse time (observed in ITKFFTHeaderTest1 with GCC for single-precision-only builds). Include fftw3.h directly, guarded, in each consuming header so the symbols are visible regardless of header include order.

The 1D FFT tests hardcoded double, which fails to compile in an ITK_USE_FFTWF=ON, ITK_USE_FFTWD=OFF build because only ComplexToComplexProxy<float> defines PlanType/ComplexType. Select the pixel type from the configured precision so the FFTW backend instantiates a proxy that exists. In a single-precision FFTW build the default 1D backend for the float pixel type is FFTW rather than Vnl, so the default-backend check expects FFTW accordingly.
Add a precision-dispatching Plan_r2r wrapper to itk::fftw::Proxy (float and double) so real-to-real (DCT) transforms use the same precision-aware interface as the c2c/r2c/c2r plans. VariationalRegistrationCurvatureRegularizer now creates its forward/backward DCT plans via FFTWProxyType::Plan_r2r instead of the bare double-only fftw_plan_r2r API, so the curvature regularizer builds and runs in single-precision (ITK_USE_FFTWF-only) configurations. PDEDeformable's itkCurvatureRegistrationFilter still calls the double-only FFTW r2r API directly and its test is gated on ITK_USE_FFTWD, so narrow its compile guards to require ITK_USE_FFTWD (matching the test). Also drop a stale single-precision #warning in the elastic regularizer, which already supports both precisions through the proxy.
The Elastic/Curvature registration tests compared bit-exact against stale baselines (ITK InsightSoftwareConsortium#6305) and failed in every FFTW configuration (float, double, both) by large amounts. The registration itself converges correctly; the output is the same solution offset by sub-pixel discretization shifts, so a neighborhood (radius) match with a modest intensity tolerance and a small differing-pixel cushion is the appropriate comparison. Wire --compareRadiusTolerance / --compareIntensityTolerance / --compareNumberOfPixelsTolerance into the 2D/3D test macros via the VR_RADIUS_TOL / VR_INTENSITY_TOL / VR_NPIXELS_TOL cache variables and set defaults of 2 / 20 / 200. Measured differing-pixel counts (float-only build) while tuning: radius/intensity | Elastic2D | Curvature2D | Elastic3D -----------------+-----------+-------------+---------- 0 / 0 (bit-exact)| 390 FAIL | 2500 FAIL | 11953 FAIL 1 / 10 | 0 pass | 8 FAIL | 632 FAIL 2 / 20 | 0 pass | 0 pass | 25 FAIL 2 / 40 | 0 pass | 0 pass | 0 pass Radius matching alone collapses the divergence ~500x (11953 -> 25), confirming a valid spatially-shifted solution rather than intensity error. The chosen 2 / 20 keeps intensity moderate; the 200-pixel cushion absorbs cross-platform variation (Elastic3D had 25 differing pixels at intensity 20).

itkFrequencyExpand/ShrinkTest used double-precision images, so on an odd-sized input (21x21x9, prime factor 7) the ND FFT fell back to the Vnl backend, which only supports sizes factored by 2, 3, and 5, and threw. The odd-input tests were gated on ITK_USE_FFTWF although they require an FFTW backend for the double pixel type (ITK_USE_FFTWD), so an FFTWF-only build ran them against the Vnl double fallback and failed. Select the test pixel type from the configured FFTW precision (double when ITK_USE_FFTWD, else float) so the matching FFTW backend handles the odd size, and run the odd-input tests whenever any FFTW backend is configured. No baseline is published for these cases (the .tiff content links never existed, matching the already-commented-out Even tests), so drop the dead --compare and let the test exercise the odd-size FFTW path, failing only on an exception.

The 1D FFT tests hardcoded double, which fails to compile in an ITK_USE_FFTWF=ON, ITK_USE_FFTWD=OFF build because only ComplexToComplexProxy<float> defines PlanType/ComplexType. Select the pixel type from the configured precision so the FFTW backend instantiates a proxy that exists. Backport of the single-precision FFTW 1D-test pixel-type fix from main (PR #6330). The default-backend (Vnl) check is unchanged on release-5.4.

WIP — do not merge yet. Fixes the FFTWF-only (single-precision FFTW) build on
main, and temporarily carries a CI-only commit (db1b8d5) forcing the Pixi-Cxx leg to build single-precision-only so the matrix actually exercises the fix. The WIP commit will be dropped once CI is green. Companion to #6326 (same fixes onrelease-5.4).The two defects (masked by the default dual-precision build)
CMake/itkExternal_FFTW.cmakesetFFTW_INCLUDEfrom the double-precisionFFTW3_INCLUDE_DIRSinside theITK_USE_FFTWFblock, leaving it empty in single-precision-only builds (fftw3.hnot found).FFTImageFilterFactory<FFTWxxx>now consults per-precision predicates (FFTImageFilterEnableFloat/Double) guarded byif constexpr. The FFTW filter headers specialize the predicate tofalse_typefor the absent precision, so the factory does not instantiatefftw::ComplexToComplexProxy<double>(which is undefined whenITK_USE_FFTWD=OFF).The specializations live in each FFTW filter header (next to
FFTImageFilterTraits<FFTWxxx>), not in a.cxx, so every translation unit that instantiates the factory — includingitkTestDriverIncludeRequiredFactories.cxx— sees them.Local verification
Built ITKFFT and ITKTestKernel on macOS arm64 with
ITK_USE_FFTWF=ON/ITK_USE_FFTWD=OFF/ITK_USE_SYSTEM_FFTW=OFF: staged FFTW built its ownfftw3.h, anditkTestDriverIncludeRequiredFactories.cxx(the TU that failed in CI) now compiles and links.
