[Insight-users] I'm New... linking issue under MS Visual Studio 8. Am using CMake

Sun Jun 7 07:47:13 EDT 2009

Hi Perry,

yes there is some kind of ITK_LINK_ALL. The ITK use file defines the  
CMake variable ITK_LIBRARIES which is set to a list of all ITK  
libraries you can link to. So put just

ADD_LINK_LIBRARIES(MYTARGET ${ITK_LIBRARIES})

in your CMakeList.txt files and you won't ever have to consider which  
ITK libraries you actually need to link with.

Andreas
