[Insight-users] Re: I can't build ITK and VTK in Visual Studio 8

[Aron Helser]

Hi Seki,

It looks like Visual C++ is trying to compile your program as a C 
program, instead of a C++ program. There are two things you can do:
- rename your source with the extension ".cpp" - then visual studio will 
automatically compile as a C++ file.
- Change the project settings to force C++ compilation: Project 
Properties, Configuration Properties, C/C++, Advanced, change 'Compile 
As' to Compile as C++ code

Hope this helps,
Aron
