[vtkusers] Use VS2005-VTK in VS2008

[Jim]

Dear vtkusers,
 
Because of the issues on building VTK in VS2008 discussed below, I built VTK in VS2005. However, I would prefer to develop my VTK-related applications in VS2008. Will this cause any problem?
 
Thank you in advance.
Jim

Dear John,
 
Thank you so much for pointing out the compiler version issue. You made my day! In one trial with VS2005 (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF), my vtk C++ examples run beautifully without any turns and twists. There must be an incorrect parameter or a bug somewhere which failed my VS2008 build.
 
I am very grateful for John's hint. Every response counts!

One problem is not all of us are using Visual Studio 2008. I use 2005 the most.

Dear vtkusers, I built vtk-5.2.1 and c++ examples in VS2008 without any errors. My TCL examples run fine. However, when I ran Arrays.exe or Cube.exe, I didn't see anything rendered on the screen, and no error messages either. I tried both BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF and ON, and I also tried both Debug and Release builds. It didn't make any difference. I am completely lost. Someone please help me out. Thank you.
