[Insight-users] Cannot Locate Build Flags for ITK + VTK

[Peter Kwan]

Hi Luis,

Thanks for such a rapid reply!

I downloaded the documentation from:  http://www.itk.org/HTML/Tutorials.htm
(after following the Tutorial link from the Documentation section on
www.itk.org).

I also read the ItkSoftwareGuide but was unsure how to integrate with VTK
since it made no specific mention of it.  But your email has cleared
everything up!

Thanks again.
