[vtkusers] vtk under visual studio 2005

[Ilinca, Radu]

Hi !

I am not that good in libraries but I want to get started with VTK 5.0 
under Visual Studio 2005 , win xp. I did all the steps from the book 
(CMake, build the solution) , I copy-pasted the Cone example in a new 
solution, set the project properties accordingly to the one in the demo 
project and I ran in in the debug mode. I got the cone moving. However, 
when I switched to Release, I got compiling erros , obviously the VS 
could not include the .h files. Here are the compiling errors. I do not 
understand :
a) Why didn't it work
b) If I was not good at specifying paths, then why does it work in the 
debug mode ?

I would appreciate a step by step solution since I am not a programming 
guru.
