[vtkusers] VC++ 2010 Express Build Issues

[Bill Lorensen]

Bob,

You really should use cmake to configure your project. It might be possible
to do it without cmake but I don't know how to do it. If you use cmake, you
should not set any includes or paths in Visual Studio. CMake does that when
it creates the solution file.

There are 100's of examples here with corresponding CMakeLists.txt files.
