[Insight-users] So many warnings after moving with ITK to VS 2005

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Zein,

What version of CMake are you using ?

CMake 2.4.6 automatically adds the option

       _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE

to the CMakeCache when configuring for
Visual Studio 2005.


As you will see, the warning that you find do not
happen in the ITK Dashboard, where we have several
VS2005 submissions.


   Regards,


     Luis
