[vtkusers] Re: Troubles compiling VTK with Microsoft C++ compiler

[Goodwin Lawlor]

Hi Marie,

The test is compiling but cl.exe can't find the system libraries...

Check to make sure you have an environment variable LIB, which should 
look like this:

LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\LIB;C:\Program 
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK
\v2.0\lib;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Lib;c:\Program Files\Microsoft 
SDK\Lib\IA64;C:\Program File
s\Microsoft Platform SDK;

The setup should have set the correct environment variable for you, I think.

Jeff Baume sent this yesterday but it didn't seem to make the list:
