I have been trying to install vtk and try out the example programs
under the tutorial folder. I am using Windows XP. When I unzip the
files into C:\Lib\VTK and then try to run the CMakeSetup program on
the folder specifying the source code folder as C:\Lib\VTK\VTK and the
build the binaries folder as C:\Lib\VTK-VC++ it only works if I "Build
For" Visual studio 7. Otherwise, when I try to build for Visual Studio
7 .Net 2003 I get the following error:
"
The C compiler "cl" is not able to compile a simple test program.
It fails with the following output:
Microsoft (R) Developement Environment Version 7.00.9466.
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2001. All rights reserved.
The selected file is not a valid Visual Studio solution file.
CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
(Press Cancel to suppress any further messages.)
"
I have Visual Studio .Net 2003 and building for Visual Studio 7
doesn't help me even though I can go through the installation process
and even build the All_Build stuff after CMake makes the binaries for
Visual Studio 7.
If you know why I am unable to get Cmake to make the binaries for
Visual Studio 7 .Net 2003 please help me out.
Thanks,
