[vtkusers] [Gdcm2] How to use vtk and gdcm in Visual Studio 2008

[Jafari, Kourosh]

I turned the shared library off. But still I get the same error message:

1>------ Build started: Project: TestGDCM, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>Linking...
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'gdcmMSFF.lib'
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Users\Kourosh\Research\Softwares\Toolkit\MyCodes\TestGDCM\TestGDCM.dir\Release\BuildLog.htm"
1>TestGDCM - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
2>------ Skipped Build: Project: ALL_BUILD, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
2>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration 
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 1 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========

Should I change the settings in Visual Studio?

Thanks!
Kourosh
