[vtkusers] cannot compile vtk with cmake 2.05 and vc++ 8 2005

[Alexis H. Rivera-Rios]

Hi,

I selected the Visual Studion 8 option (it's the only
option that works in my system) and I made sure the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is correct.  Still, it doesn't
work. Any other pointers?

I'm using the XP Service Pack 2 SDK Update and I'm
running on an XP Service Pack 2. I don't know if this
matters.

Thanks,
Alexis
