[Insight-users] Beginner's Questions on ITK and Visual Studio 2005

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi An,

It is common for CMake to have duplicates in the list of libraries
to be used for linking. This is something that could be improved.


I would *strongly* discourage you from modifying the Visual Studio
projects, once they have been generated by CMake.


The main reason is that CMake will regenerate the project if it
finds that anything has changed in the configuration, and at that
point you will lose any changes that you may have introduced manually.



If you want to make configuration changes you should do them in the
CMakeLists.txt files and not in the resulting VS projects.

The messages that you are seeing (e.g.):

     ”The project ‘ImageRegistration1’ has been
      modified outside the environment..."

are the result of CMake running again, and regenerating the
Visual Studio project while you still have it open in the IDE.

In order to avoid this circular situation you should simply close
the project in your Visual Studio IDE (or quit VC++ althgether),
then run CMake directly, in order to regenerate the VS project,
and finally open the project again with Visual Studio.



    Regards,


       Luis
