[CMake] VS 8 & CMake 2.4.2

[Kris Dekeyser]

Hi,
 
Previously problems using CMake with Visual Studio 8 were reported. They were reported with Visual Studio 2005 Express, but I encountered them too with the full Visual Studio 8 version.
 
CMake failed to compile the test program and the output showed that OLDNAMES.lib could not be found.
 
What happened is the following: When installing VS8 I removed the static runtime libraries from the installer selection since we always link against the runtime DLLs. Apparently this is not supported by CMake.
 
The solution is to either add the static runtime libs to your installation or add /ignorlib:OLDLIBNAMES.lib to the compiler flags. I choose the first solution, because it's the easiest. Changing the default compiler flags requires some fiddling with cmake files in the installation.
 
Best regards, Kris
