[Insight-users] Re: Problem with VC++ and ITK

Hi Frederic,

This type of primitive errors only happen when you
don't use CMake for configuring your project.

Please use CMake for configuring your project, as
explained in the ITK Tutorials and in the
ITK Software Guide.

Your time will be better spent on doing image processing
than dealing with the little configuration boxes of
Visual Studio. There is no reason for wasting time in
primitive configuration issues, when you have at hand a
straight forward solution by just using CMake.

    Regards,

       Luis
