[vtkusers] Compile with Visual Studio 2008

[Alon Mozes]

Hi All,
I have a great project using VTK/ITK in an older version of Visual Studio.  I need to upgrade to the latest version of VS (Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition).  I've found that I must recompile VTK/ITK to properly do so.  I've started from scratch and installed the latest CMake 2.6 which offers an option to use the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and VTK 5.2.1.  For the configuration, I turn on VTK_USE_MFC (via VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT) and VTK_RENDERING.  Then I compile the ALL_BUILD in Visual Studio and I get several errors.  I reconfigured CMake to turn off the VTK_USE_VIDEO_FOR_WINDOWS and all but one error goes away.  I'm still stuck with the following failure (which seems to be in the vtkMFC package which I think is critical for me):
 
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\sdkddkver.h(217) : fatal error C1189: #error : _WIN32_WINNT settings conflicts with _WIN32_IE setting
 
When I dig a little, I'm taken to the following lines of code:
 
#if ((_WIN32_WINNT < _WIN32_WINNT_WIN2K) && (_WIN32_IE > _WIN32_IE_IE60SP1))
#error _WIN32_WINNT settings conflicts with _WIN32_IE setting
#endif
 
Its clearly passing this conditional and triggering this error.  The weird thing is that the first part of the conditional should be 0 (the values seem to be 0x0600 < 0x0500) so the whole thing should not pass.  What's going on here?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks for the help.
