[vtkusers] problem with cmake

[Ming Huang]

I followed instructions to install vtk, but after I open cmake and hit the configure button, I get a lot of error messages
 
Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64 -- broken
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52 (MESSAGE):
The C compiler "cl" is not able to compile a simple test program.
It fails with the following output:
Change Dir: C:/VTKBuild/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

Invalid project
Use:
vcexpress [solutionfile | projectfile | anyfile.ext] [switches]
The first argument for devenv is usually a solution file or project file.
You can also use any other file as the first argument if you want to have
the
file open automatically in an editor.  When you enter a project file, the
IDE
looks for an .sln file with the same base name as the project file in the
parent directory for the project file.  If no such .sln file exists, then
the
IDE looks for a single .sln file that references the project.  If no such
single
.sln file exists, then the IDE creates an unsaved solution with a default
.sln
file name that has the same base name as the project file.
Command line builds:
devenv solutionfile.sln /build [ solutionconfig ] [ /project
projectnameorfile [ /projectconfig name ] ]
Available command line switches:
/Log		Logs IDE activity to the specified file for troubleshooting.
/ResetSettings	Restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets to
the specified VSSettings file.
/SafeMode	Launches the IDE in safe mode loading minimal windows.
Product-specific switches:
/debugexe	Open the specified executable to be debugged.  The
remainder of the command line is passed to this
executable as its arguments.
/useenv		Use PATH, INCLUDE, LIBPATH, and LIB environment variables
instead of IDE paths for VC++ builds.
To attach the debugger from the command line, use:
VsJITDebugger.exe -p <pid>
CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
