[Insight-users] ITK 3.18 exception with VS9 but not mingw or during unit tests

Fri May 21 13:31:09 EDT 2010

Unfortunately this does not fix all the problems for vs9.

The same thing that works for vs8 gets further for vs9 but
still generates this error at link time for vtksys.

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport)
public: class std::_String_iterator...

I found this page that seems to talk about it, but the fix didn't work for me.

I'm digging in more now.
