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

[Mark Roden]

Hi Kourosh,

Does CMake know the path to your gdcm libraries, and then to your vtk
libraries?  You'll have to have a field for those paths in your cmake
project.  I'm sure that there's a way to have cmake fill in the fields
automatically with the last build you made in cmake.  If you build
gdcm in cmake, and then reference the gdcm path variable, whose syntax
I don't know but there's a sample for the vtk path in the gdcm
project, then your project should use that path automatically.
