[Insight-users] Visual Studio 2008 and ITK libraries

[Michael Jackson]

Yes, Use CMake for your project. With just a few lines in a  
CMakeLists.txt file, CMake will generate a Visual Studio Solution file  
for you that will have all the necessary includes.

Of course the ITK folks _could_ make it easier by using includes like:

#include <itk/Common/itkArray.h> instead of
#include <itkArray.h>

But I am sure they have their reasons..

Just my 2 cents
